Dr. Tony Holohan:
My comments concerned the open disclosure components and where they overlap with Scally. The Deputy is correct, however, that the broader requirements in terms of reporting and auditing will present a substantial implementation challenge. We will do as we do with every Act. Our implementation planning is done for the most part but not only with the HSE and in parallel with the process of drafting so we will have prepared the ground as best we can to try to enable the effective implementation of the legislation when commenced.
