Ms Suzanne Costello:

There are probably a number of different areas. My view, certainly in public health, is that we have come closer together over the past couple of years, more so than diverging. I cannot think of a specific area in which we are diverging. There may be a different pace on different issues. As I said, I cannot emphasise enough the strength of the working relationships between colleagues in the Departments of Health and colleagues in public health, North and South. It is a question of convergence but the pace is different. There are lots of reasons for that.
