I will go back to the issue of autonomy in relation to the management of maternity units. It is an issue that has been brought up on many occasions in regard to all our hospital services, that there is a problem with autonomy, certainly at clinical level, within hospital services. There are a number of members present who are also members of the Committee on the Future of Healthcare and we are trying to grapple with how we can change our health service to make it more efficient and more effective. Apart from governance, which is Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4, do the witnesses have any other game changers or triggers that will change the health service to become a better one?
