Ms Magdalen Rogers:

I do not think it is necessarily where it belongs in the HSE that has caused the issue. I think it is the lack of accountability and timeframes. Again, regarding the 2019 to 2021 framework, we do not have a sense whether that is just being rolled out now for the next three years or whether it is just unfortunate that the implementation did not happen over those three years. We do not get a sense of where the implementation plan is now in terms of a timeframe. The accountability would be key and certainly if the head of the HSE is coming to the committee next week, that would be a key question for him: what the new timeframe for the implementation of the strategy is.
