Ms Anne O'Connor:

We do not have that role. What we are looking at is the design of the health system as we develop the RHAs. The role of the national centre will be to look at the functions. The national director role was a position for mental health that had not existed previously in terms of the visibility of mental health and the focus on it. We have to ensure that those things are built into any future model for health service delivery. As it stands, we do not have a role for a national director of mental health, and nor do we have a national director for primary care or social care as we had previously. We had a number of national director roles based on siloed working previously.
