That was a good answer. On the separate Bill, are there plans to bring in the enforcement powers? I am referring to the Bill that does not have them. I also wanted to ask about the available resources and the need to ensure that HIQA, the Department and the hospitals themselves, are adequately resourced. There is extra and important work to be done in that regard. If that has already been covered I am happy to read through the transcript but if not, I would love to hear whether HIQA, the Department and the HSE believe that sufficient resources will be put in place to actually make this thing a success.
