Mr. Jim Breslin:
We would have a particular focus on particular parts of the HSE. In these areas, changing the approach around process could free up staff. However, if we simply took away the staff at the moment without changing the process, we would grind to a halt. Improving financial processes and bringing technology to bear will release staff. We are keen to see them deployed into higher value work involving analysis and trying to manage to a higher level.
