Mr. Pat Healy:

We have a value for money policy review, which involves a national implementation framework chaired by the Department. It reports to the Minister and the HSE is leading its implementation. We are identifying the costs involved and working closely with the Department and others to ensure we bring forward those costs and plan for them properly. The key, as we try to bring about the fundamental change that is required, is to do it in an organised and systematic way over time and in a way which assures the standards but also can be delivered within the resources provided.
