Ms Nugent can see that, for the public listening in and watching on, this is a most unsatisfactory outcome from a process whereby a Minister has taken a decision and we do not know the full reasons for that decision. We know the context and what is taking place surrounding that decision not to provide the consent, but we have absolutely no clarity regarding it.

For Ms Nugent, as CEO of the hospital, it cannot be a satisfactory situation for her that a former CEO is lurking around the corridors as she is trying to build a new vision for the hospital and trying to move forward with the action plan. Does she agree that, all things being equal, if she could have some control over this, she would not have wished to have a former CEO sitting in the hospital working away, with her as the new CEO trying to deal with the issues that are before her?
