I understand the board members are operating in a personal capacity and not appointed to represent a particular group. I believe Deputy Donnelly is suggesting that the board members should have a clinical, financial or advocacy background but not necessarily represent any particular group. He is stating that they should have expertise in those fields. Perhaps the Minister of State could comment on that.
