Dr. Duncan Rogers:

The post is a new one, but it is funded by the HSE. I am employed by the Mater, which is paid by the HSE for me. My clinical governance runs through the structure of the Mater, so I am beholden to the CEO, the clinical director of the surgical directorate, and Professor Keegan, as my head of service. However, my line management is through the HSE, namely, my general manager, Michelle Ford, and the head of primary care services. The funding was from the HSE. To my knowledge, are the other medical ophthalmology consultant posts throughout the country.
