I will give an example. A service in my area, Teach an Saol, provides resources and supports for those with acquired brain injuries. Its representatives met with the Minister several times and met with HSE estates. There is a real question around who is the decision-maker and the champion of the project. It is a national service so the benefit locally in the CHO is quite limited but people from all over the country come to the service in Santry. It is a good example of the discussion we have had about who carries the project through the HSE capital system. Is it the local CHO operations manager or, for national services, will it be the Department or somebody at national disabilities level in the HSE?
