I asked earlier was there ever toing and froing, as a client would have. Would the Department of Health speak to Mr. Breen about a case and suggest what should be done? Would it be in the competency of the Department of Health, or the Minister, to make contact and recommend being more proactive on a case, or to look at mediation, or look at a conversation? Is that within the competency of the Department of Health, or the Secretary General of the Department, or the chief medical officer, CMO, or the director general of the HSE, or the Minister? Is it within their competency to contact Mr. Breen and ask him to run a case differently?
