Dr. Paul Kavanagh:

I will add to that for context. I appreciate the focus of the question around healthcare services but in terms of the health of the nation and public health, which are the focus of the institute, it is important for us to remember - I say this as a medical doctor by training - that healthcare services only contribute about 20% to the levels of health and well-being that we see at a national level. It is important that we have organisations like the institute that are providing a voice on issues of preventing disease, keeping the population well, preparing for future challenges like population ageing, and focusing outside healthcare services on social determinants of health, health inequalities, commercial determinants of health and so on and so forth. It is important for us to remember when we are talking about the health of the nation that, while healthcare services are really important when people get sick, they are just one contributor to the levels of health and well-being.
