Frances Black (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister, the Department and the HSE for all their work in the very difficult year and a half that we have all had. They have been very committed to everything that has been happening. I do not doubt the commitment of and the great work the Minister, the Department and the HSE are doing with regard to Sláintecare and a better healthcare system. I just want to go back a little bit to the cross-party Oireachtas committee on Sláintecare. One of the top priorities of that committee, and many of the witnesses who came in, was reform of the HSE and the devolution of power. Do the Minister or Mr. Watt think that there may be a conflict of interest with the Department and the HSE stepping into that role?
