Dr. Peter Boylan:

On clinical governance, the model that is evolving in the south-south west Cork area is probably the best one. On the point I made about authority and accountability, it is not fair nor does it work to hold people accountable if they do not have the authority to fix things that they perceive to have gone wrong. It is not right to hold somebody accountable if something goes wrong over which he or she has no control. It is not any way to run it.
