Is the HSE fully aware of what is supposed to happen? The lack of communication between the HSE and the people who require services has been appalling and does a disservice to all of us. It is not good enough to leave a voice message stating X or Y will happen. It is welcome that the review will not be a desktop exercise, but I hope it will be communicated to the individuals who make decisions at local level that they have to be humane in their approach, as opposed to sending a cold and calculated computer printout.
