Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

The intention from the Government decision is that the RHAs will be administrative entities as part of the HSE. Therefore, the HSE board will be, and is, the board under Sláintecare for the full HSE, and the RHAs will be part of the HSE albeit with substantial autonomy as we mentioned. They will not have a separate legal status and therefore would not have a separate legal board. They will obviously have management teams which the RHA chief will chair and manage, if that makes sense.
