What are the impediments that Mr. O'Brien experiences in his position, as opposed to the views of the person who made the decision? Will he list the impediments to getting the borders aligned as they are in the mid-west? How can one transfer funding from an acute setting to a primary care setting if part of the CHO belongs to somebody else? How does one track that money and make sure it is going to the right place and being used in the right way? It seems clear to me there is some impediment either on the part of the HSE or the hospital groups. I doubt it is in primary care because that service does not have enough power yet. What is the impediment to getting the borders at this point, when we are all working so hard to sort out this situation? Will Mr. O'Brien tell us what we can do and what the impediments are?
