My follow-up question is whether this changes the latitude available in respect of the terms and conditions. Is it the case that the board can state that it needs to pay €500,000 a year to a person whereas, perhaps, the Minister for Health could not do so? Perhaps the Minister can do so. That is the question I am asking. Does the amendment change the freedom available to set terms and conditions?
