Does the NTA ever talk to the HSE? Some hospitals provide concentrated services in areas, including cancer services and so on. Does the NTA liaise in any way to ensure people from County Leitrim can have their appointments in Galway later in the day because its services might be run in that way? Is there any joined-up thinking? Does the NTA ever sit down with people to ensure the right hand knows what the left hand is doing? In most cases and most walks of life, it does not.
