Fergal Browne (Fine Gael)

An article appeared in The Irish Times last week which stated:

Plans for radical changes in the way health services are run from January 1st have been postponed, and the heads of the State's health boards will continue to manage services for several months, it was confirmed last night.

The confirmation came from the HSE. Will the Minister of State clarify what will be the position from 1 January on foot of the grave uncertainty that exists?
