Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Children's Hospital: Discussion
Mr. Fred Barry:
The first major step was to recognise that we had asked our project director to also act as chief officer. In my view, and that of the board now, that was too much to place on one individual. We have separated the positions. We have an interim chief officer with a competition under way for a permanent chief officer. We have a separate project director position. This is quite an important strengthening at the top level of the organisation.
