Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Yes. It is a statutory right and it should be. If it is not I am very happy to hear from anybody who has a difficulty in that. I want to be very clear. If the HSE approves the use of a private clinician and pays that clinician to conduct assessments then the HSE would want to have a very good reason for not then accepting the outcome of that assessment. We cannot buy an assessment and then say that because we do not like it we do not accept it. I am not giving that authority to my managers any more. That is not appropriate. That is the same as hiring my own staff and saying I am not accepting what they are saying. It is not appropriate.
