The HSE has written to them nine times. These are intelligent people running these organisations. The power lies with the HSE within the service level agreement to ensure compliance. The HSE's service plan has gone to the Minister. Feeding out of that are the service plans for each of these agencies. These agencies and the people working in them do great work. This is a distraction from that work and needs to be sorted out. What can the HSE do within the service level plan to ensure we are not back here next year going through the same issue?
