Róisín Shortall: Thank you very much, Professor Pollock. I have one further question. You referred earlier to the geographic organisation of health services. In Ireland, the HSE is a national organisation, but it has recently reorganised the hospital sector into six hospital groups - these were referred to earlier - with some intention to move towards hospital trusts.

Róisín Shortall: Dr. O'Shea makes the point that general practice needs an enhanced role in integrated care programmes and clinical care programmes.
