People outside of the system, who have never worked in a public hospital, and who have just had the benefit of the great nurses and doctors who work in our hospital system, look at this and do not really understand how it is we have the HSE over there and the hospitals providing services. They are all supposed to be providing services pursuant to agreements and that is how we manage the flow of money one way or another and yet there is this huge wall of cash of €28 million that is unfunded. Ms McGrath is saying that maybe even with the SLA these problems could persist and there will be a governance structure. How do we overcome these issues? Will it be just the multi-funding issues in future?
