How long has the HSE been aware that this was going on? I refer to the specific issue of the public walking in to see consultants who are not consultants. We have evidence from an opening statement provided by one of the professional bodies stating "the most basic professional standards are not being observed." Who has the responsibility to ensure that the most basic professional standards are observed, such as consultants actually being consultants? Is that the responsibility of the HSE?
