Fair enough. I sit on the health committee and am concerned about Sláintecare. Mr. Barnes brought up the legibility of what is happening. We consistently ask the HSE - and this relates to the issue around staffing and what is really happening - what functions are devolved and being devolved and what impact that has on budgets. What is the witnesses' understanding of the functions of the HSE? We have done something as simple as asking the HSE to list its functions and then to list out what was has been devolved. We have not been successful in achieving even that simple list. Is the devolution of powers in the HSE to achieve Sláintecare as opaque to IFAC as to me?
