I will ask a few other quick questions before concluding. I will be very disciplined for a change. People are the HSE's biggest asset.

What will we do to attract more people and retain those we already have? What will happen to the structures underneath the board? There are subcommittees and so forth, but what other changes does Mr. Devane propose to introduce? Structural realignment of the HSE is required across the country. That has been called for under Sláintecare, which we in this committee spent 11 months developing. I am in favour of the HSE's realignment; it needs to be done. How will Mr. Devane's position evolve in terms of board responsibility for budgetary management?
