I want to touch on a number of areas but will start with a question that follows on from other sessions that we have had. It is not something that came up in the opening statements of either group today but I would like to get feedback from them on it. I will start with Mr. Barry and Mr. Geiran. The issue is multidisciplinary mental health teams, which we discussed with the Irish Medical Organisation, IMO, previously. Concerns have been raised that the shared governance model might result in a lack of clinical responsibility. I am particularly interested in this question from the perspective of social workers. Do the current structures work well now? Will they work well with Sláintecare? How could they be improved?
