I am delighted with the Minister's response. Nobody is better placed to interpret what the services need than the staff delivering them. For example, a training hospital may be short of nurses or doctors. Given that the health service executive will be responsible for the delivery of services in such institutions, it would be up to it, and under legislation it is obliged, to involve itself in the initiative of providing the training for the relevant professionals sought by any relevant institution. All should welcome this, as I do. I welcome the Minister's comments in regard to the established postgraduate training institutions, namely, that they still have a positive and proactive role to play.
