The previous conversation I had with Mr. Watt was not a criticism of him over what happened between 2000 and 2004. I say that just in case he might be thinking I am trying to blame him for what happened at that time.

I want to raise the management structure of the 19 maternity hospitals. The big issue is claims in regard to maternity hospitals. The three maternity hospitals in Dublin have a master who is appointed for seven years but what is the structure in the other 14? Who actually is in overall charge or how does it fit into the HSE service? There seems to be a significant difference between the management of the three units in Dublin - the Rotunda, Holles Street and the Coombe - and the other 14 units around the country.
