My point is that stability has been brought to the Department of Health. The Secretary General has, in terms of the administration of the Department of Health, been effective on a range of fronts. That has to be acknowledged. That was required when we were coming out of Covid and dealing with the consultants' contract and the Sláintecare implementation, etc. That is why I am saying I believe it is important that the Secretary General of the Department of Health continues to work on the bigger issues facing health. We need to move now to improve consistently, reform and implement the Government programme in relation to health-----
