The answers I am getting are very puzzling. I do not know who is in charge of anything. There are all these different line managements. Is it clinical? Is it administrative? Who does the buck stop with ultimately? That is the question. Will Ms O'Connor send us a diagram of the governance structure in south Kerry? I do not want to spend any more time on this issue because it is exceptionally confusing. I can well understand how issues arise. The Maskey report refers to the area A governance group, which "did not check that CAMHS Area A Team was working safely and effectively" and "did not [consider or] talk about the risks of a long term vacancy." Who is responsible? Who is the senior person on that governance group?
