I agree with that. It has been said that the HSE is too large to fail but too big to succeed. I accept that it is too large to fail but I do not accept that it is too big to succeed if we have the right structures in place. There are companies that are much bigger than the HSE with very successful organisational groups and they work perfectly well. It can succeed if the structure is in place to make it succeed. I agree with Mr. Breslin's comment. We should be going out there and looking positively for someone. With the blueprint of the Sláintecare report we can show him or her there is a real opportunity to make a positive impact, to make this organisation work and to give us the healthcare service we deserve.
