Mr. Tony O'Brien:
This level of change is not desirable. Unfortunately, it is a fact of life in any organisational context. The current national director, Mr. Liam Woods, who is known well to the committee, is pursuing the corporate strategy on acute hospitals. While he is bringing his own style and sense of rigour to the role, it does not fundamentally change the strategy. The thrust of our strategy on hospitals is governed by Government policy on the creation of the hospital groups.
