Mr. Stephen Teap:
I am not interested in open disclosure but am more interested in mandatory disclosure. Mandatory disclosure is worthless unless sanctions are put in place to coincide with that. That is sanctions on the individual. One cannot tell someone to do something and then have nothing happen if they do not. It will not work. There need to be serious sanctions in place for this. With regard to any reform in the HSE, legislation needs to be put in place to coincide with it to make it work. I agree with all of Vicky's points about what needs to be done.
