To come back to my original question, apart from staffing and bed capacity, what are the barriers to implementing the chronic care programmes? Are there structural problems that need to be overcome in how the HSE and the Department of Health are structured and managed or are there other softer barriers apart from the infrastructural and staffing barriers?
