There is a lot in that. Although I will give some information now on HSE structures, I suggest that I obtain for the committee a detailed note on this because the information came from the HSE as opposed to being based on a decision taken by my Department. The HSE will be here with me on 10 November for our quarterly meeting. To give the Deputy a little information, my understanding is that there has been a vacant deputy director general post within the HSE for quite some time. Some members will obviously be aware of this. There is a need to shake up the structure in respect of how people are reporting to the director general and the HSE. This involves a realignment of roles. I will obtain a detailed note for the Deputy on the specifics, including the costs.
