Mr. Paul Reid:

I will make a general comment and then specifically reference the CHO 4 area. In general, in our risk management focus, we have placed a huge focus on this over the past three years with the appointment of our board and dedicated audit and risk committee, which was quite right. Separate to that, we have appointed a chief risk officer. We have reassessed the old risk management process within the HSE, have put further resources into it and have developed a new corporate risk register. That is informed by top-down risks from our strategy. Also, it is informed by bottom-up risks from CHOs, acute hospitals, mental health services and disabilities. It is quite a comprehensive approach and is much better strengthened than it has ever been. I might ask Mr. Fitzgerald to comment on the identification of local risks but I want to reassure the committee that we have a much-strengthened, enterprise risk management approach.
