To sum up, this morning and last week we have identified the problems and the solutions but unfortunately we fall down, as happens with many other reports, on implementation. We have huge implementation deficit disorder not only in the health service but in the Oireachtas as well and we do not know how to follow through on the best available advice.

I thank Dr. Peadar Gilligan and Ms. Susan Clyne of the IMO, Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha and Ms Martina Kelly of the INMO, and Dr. Donal O’Hanlon, Mr. Martin Varley and Dr. Laura Durcan of the IHCA for their expert comments and advice and for giving us their time.
