Council Regulation on Procedures for amending the Sirene Manual: Referral to Joint Committee. - Health Service Reform: Statements (Resumed).

 

What level of staff will be made available to the agency, which I presume will operate from a building in Dublin? What direct lines of communication, instruction and accountability will the agency have to its regional offices? Will such offices simply be offshoots of the agency? I presume it will tell the regional offices what to do and how to deliver. These are very important points. Most people want to know how the delivery of health services will work. If one can understand the labyrinthine structures, devices and habits of the health boards, one can understand how the health service works at present. The public is entitled to know how the new structure that is being devised will work. How will decisions be made?
