I also want to ask about that important accountability piece in the context of corporate accountability and clinical accountability. I have always felt that it did not make sense for Mr. Reid to be apologising and explaining for something that was happening in south Kerry or north-west Donegal or whatever. There must be accountability at local level, both corporate and clinical. I can see there being resistance to the clinical accountability principle. Has the HSE started to look at that in any kind of detail and what kind of timeline are we talking about for having the legislation that would be required for that accountability?
