Mr. Robert Watt:

The Minister can speak for himself. I am not here to speak for the Minister but the Minister is absolutely committed to Sláintecare. He is behind the reforms and is leading the Department and leading the team - me and Mr. Reid, and our respective teams - to deliver this, and he is absolutely fully aligned. Of course, as Mr. Muiris O'Connor has said, there are issues relating to how we implement RHAs, and those issues are being debated now and discussed. The Government will receive a memorandum setting out our implementation plan and then we will push ahead with that implementation plan.

In terms of the combative nature of my answers, that is a trait. You love or hate it. There is nothing I can do about it really now. I am probably too old to change.
