It is extraordinary that just a few months ago in September, Mr. Watt was talking about expanding the remit of hospital groups to include community services. I can only come to the conclusion that he does not get Sláintecare and that he does not have any understanding of the regionalisation structures that were proposed. They are a central element of the reform programme. We were told last year by Laura Magahy and Tom Keane that one of the main reasons they resigned was because there was no appetite in the Department of Health or the HSE to restructure and devolve power and introduce legal accountability for the provision of services. I cannot help but see now and understand fully the reasons these two people resigned.
