Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Health Service Executive: Engagement with Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Bernard Gloster:
I think part of the legislative underscoring of that is in the delegation to those six leaders. Under the Health Act I can delegate the functions that I have. I can formally delegate them in law, and a specific order was signed to do that. That is where we can attach the accountability mechanism. I do not necessarily think there is a silver bullet in legislating the specific accountability of six regional people, given that we are within the same legal entity as it is.
