On the basis of what the Minister has outlined in his statement regarding giving responsibility to the Department and the HSE for their own reform, embedding Sláintecare in the Department, I think the Minister is absolutely going against the intention of Sláintecare and the democratic decision of the Dáil in terms of progressing this proposal prioritising the issue of regionalisation and accountability. The Minister is going directly against the expressed wishes of the Dáil in that respect.
