Ms Fionnuala Duffy:

Could I return to a point raised by Deputy O'Reilly regarding gender balance? As members will have seen, the administrative board of the Children's Hospital Group is very much a competency-based board and that is the approach we use to populate the board. If we stipulate 50:50 gender balance in legislation, it could be restrictive in terms of making sure we have people with the actual competencies rather than being solely mindful of gender balance to achieve a 50:50 balance. That would be a consideration for us.
