Do members wish to restrict the meeting to the HSE? We can have the Department in with it. Another option would be to include other bodies that are accountable to the committee and have responsibility for emergency services. If that is preferable I will ask the secretariat to put together a proposal for consideration. It is up to members how we proceed with this. My feeling is that the HSE is very big, as are each of these areas. Dealing with ambulance services and emergency services on the same day will be a lot. If we try to broaden it out any further we will get lost and we will not have an opportunity to deal with it properly. What are the views of the members on this?
