I welcome Mr. Gloster and congratulate him on his appointment. I wish him very well in the role. No pressure but the whole country needs him to do well.

I will stay with the issue of the RHAs. Notwithstanding the need to keep the health service running, it can be argued that Mr. Gloster's main job in regard to the reform programme is to devolve power and responsibility from the centre, and from himself, to the regions. What is his view on that?
