There is the issue of dividing up the HSE into regional areas. Will there be a cost issue to this? As a result, how will tight control be kept on it? When we amalgamated all of the health boards into the HSE there was a huge cost factor. I am concerned that now we are doing the exact opposite and we will have another huge cost factor.
