What Mr. Reid proposed would involve weak RHAs and a strong HSE centre. That is what he proposed. He has always said that. He can give me his opinion and that is fair enough. I am giving my opinion based on what I can see in front of me with my own eyes. There are three options, one of which would set up legal entities, devolve more responsibilities to the regional health areas and create a leaner HSE centre, while another will create a strong HSE centre, with fewer functions and responsibilities given to RHAs. The latter is the one the Government went with and Mr. Reid recommended, but it is not the one, in my view, that Sláintecare had proposed.
