I wish I had more, but I will conclude. It would take much longer to go through this matter in great detail. I emphasise that my comments are not a personal reflection on the staff of the HSE, countless people who have done a great job for years. Rather, it is a reflection on the structure, which is inappropriate in terms of accountability and dealing with the services required by the country. It is also inappropriate for recognising the changing times and the necessity to respond to people's needs in a meaningful and democratic way.
