I noticed throughout the statement and when Ms Quigley talks about interagency partnership how there is a creeping centralisation towards very health-specific services that any of us on the ground will have seen. I represent Dublin 1 and Dublin 7. As everyone has said today, the issues are so much more complex. What Ms Quigley has described is similar to an extent to the model for the north-east inner city, NEIC, which has a specific sum of funding, which sits within the Department of the Taoiseach and everyone is around the table. Is that what Ms Quigley feels is the answer?
