When it was announced that a national and centralised health services executive agency was to be established, with a brief to deliver on behalf of the Government, I thought of bodies such as the National Roads Authority, which is charged with developing the roads infrastructure. One would have to recall such examples, because hardly a week passes in the House without a Member speaking – not in positive terms – about the NRA. I will not speak at length about the authority, as I am merely citing it as an example of a board which has been established but which is not accountable to Members of the Oireachtas, as elected representatives of the people. It is remote from the people it serves. Senator Quinn made some valuable points in that regard.
