Mr. Éamonn Donnelly:

I wish to add one point about the home support resource managers. We are very proud of the fact that the much-maligned managerial cohort that we represent are generic and agile, and can move across the health system. However, as with the civil registration service, there needs to be consideration that when we get a bank of expertise in organising home care, we should probably try to hold on to it and not let it migrate out into the generic system. There may be a case for some specialisation of the management function there, given the wealth and bank of knowledge. Many of these people come and develop that knowledge in an industry that is moving at a frenetic pace, as Ms Keogh has described. All of a sudden, they are off somewhere else, they are lost and we must start from scratch. There is a case for looking at that.
