I go back to the job in hand and what is ahead of us, specifically the reorganisation of the health services. Mr. Watt will have a meaningful role to play in that. Does he recognise the role he must play in the recovery of the rest of the health services in general after Covid-19? In other jurisdictions they are now finding out that various areas of health services were neglected due to the pressure of Covid-19. An attempt is being made to catch up on those now. How does Mr. Watt see his role in co-ordinating and delivering on that?
