Picking up on the point of accountability, it has been this committee’s view and it was certainly the case in the Sláintecare recommendations, that accountability is critical for those people who will be leading each of the six regions, and that such accountability needs to be legally underpinned. It seems that that proposal was not fully accepted by the Government in the business case it adopted. Increasingly, this committee is of the view, and the thinking within the group dealing with Sláintecare and the RHAs in particular, that legislation is required to provide for that accountability. Has Mr. Gloster come to a view on that as of yet?
