When the health service needed to deal with Covid, it provided services very well. We need to do what Mr. Kearns is saying and bring everyone with us because that is exactly what happened with Covid. Management, medical people, nursing staff, care assistants and everybody else worked extremely hard to deliver. We can deliver a very efficient service, but we need to ensure the leadership is provided. I am not clear on this one whether we can bring about the change and, at the same time, convince the people who are working on the front line that it is a team effort to deliver a better healthcare service.
