Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (6 Feb 2019) Kate O'Connell: Chairman, may I ask a final question of Mr. Breslin? On 16 January 2019, this committee asked about this new governance structure that emerged in May 2017. The gist of what I said then was that the Department never puts in a new governance structure unless something is going wrong. I am still worried about that date in May 2017 as to why that new governance structure was put in place....

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (6 Feb 2019) Kate O'Connell: Is it that the Chairman thinks I am looking the angriest and it is a safer bet to ask me? Mr. John Connaghan was in the role before Mr. Sullivan took up the role. Is that the same Mr. John Connaghan we have met here before?

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (6 Feb 2019) Kate O'Connell: It is not really credible to refer to November.
