Tallaght hospital has had six CEOs since it was formed. I knew the first CEO, who came from Canada, well. The Leas-Cheann Comhairle was a Minister for Health during some of his tenure. He was a highly impressive individual but for some reason he did not stay very long. I think there is a lesson to be learned from the fact that there has been such a rapid turnover of CEOs; six in ten years is not very encouraging. That is why the board has brought in Mr. McKee, who has wide experience, to work for a number of months along with current management at Tallaght to put into effect not only the recommendations of Hayes, but also its own PricewaterhouseCoopers report and the many other reports commissioned on Tallaght hospital.

What was the other question?
