Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Maybe I am being subjective and the Deputy will say that of course I would say this, but I do not believe I am ticking boxes anyway. As I told the committee, I as CEO want to get closer to driving the integration of services between communities and hospitals, driving efficiencies and getting the best possible outcomes for service users and patients. I am in the middle of appointing six regional officers who will report directly to me. I am taking three layers out of the system between me and the front line. I am driving towards that position, but it takes time.
