I did not ask the Minister that question.

Okay, I would like to move on. The big recommendation of the Committee on the Future of Healthcare was that the Sláintecare office would not be located within the Department of Health. Lessons were learned from the experience with the cancer strategy. The big fear was that there would be departmental capture of the Sláintecare plan. If the Department of Health and the HSE were capable of reform, we would have seen it long ago. However, the concern was that it would be captured. Hearing what is now proposed as a replacement structure, I cannot help coming to the conclusion that this is a hostile takeover of Sláintecare. I ask the Minister to be a bit more precise on what exactly he is proposing. I ask him to outline the new governance structure for the implementation of Sláintecare now as he referenced in his statement. Who will be in charge of the implementation of Sláintecare? Where will the independent oversight come from?
