We are looking at the what and the how and what happens once all of that is sorted. I welcome the fact that we are going to have a document in the new year, but we also have to work out who is legally responsible for what. I am not getting caught up in whether any of it should be underpinned by legislation or whatever. It will probably need to be, or there will need to be an amendment to the Health Act. Certainly I would imagine that the CEOs of these RHAs have to be accountable to this committee for what they are responsible for. Once we work out what they are responsible for, does Mr. Watt accept that those CEOs would then be accountable to this committee with I imagine the head of the HSE? Is that how both of the witnesses would read it?
