I move amendment No. 21:

In page 15, lines 20 and 21, to delete “, or has been, or may at a future time be,”.

My amendment is similar to the previous one. It concerns the avoidance of any double jobbing and conflict of interest. There are probably nicer words for that now but they escape me at the moment. I have a difficulty with the person who is the head of the health service having other jobs or calls on their time. My amendment seeks to ensure that the focus is solely and entirely on the role as the chief executive or director general of the HSE. We saw previously where additional roles were approved by the Minister but that does not make it right. It means that it happened.
