That was my understanding.

I want to ask Mr. Watt about a couple of things. Regarding the status of the individual health identifier and electronic health record project, the business case for those was in 2016. Where is that at the moment? When are we going to see a workforce plan?

On change management and reform, I appreciate that Mr. Watt and Mr. Reid have extensive experience of that in other organisations but health sector change management and reform is quite a different kettle of fish. Has Mr. Watt brought in any expertise with regard to this area? Specifically, has he spoken with the expert team from the Centre for Health Policy and Management at Trinity College Dublin, which provided the very strong policy base for the Sláintecare programme?
