What are the biggest challenges for the HSE at the moment? It is easy for members to come in here and to criticise and find fault with the executive but we must bear in mind the size of the organisation, the number of staff it employs, the different services it provides, including demand-led services, HIQA inspections and so forth. I do not envy Mr. O'Brien's job. What, in his view, are the biggest challenges for the organisation?
