Too often when something fails we are told that it is a system failure. This is central to the kind of fragmented approach being taken. It is about processes and institutional gaps. The very least the HSE should have is a register. This issue is not exclusive to the HSE, however. It is something that cuts across various bodies. It may be something we could raise with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform next week. It strikes me that it is the overarching Government Department in respect of the public service. If there is going to be an outside investigation, at the very least there should be a requirement to register it so that we can know that it happened.
