I agree that we need to flatten the pyramid of management and devolve more authority to the local level to which I have alluded. I want more power locally the people who do the job locally.

Senator Darragh O'Brien talked about the OPD figures. I spoke about this issue in his absence. He is back now. He asked when GP care would be provided. I have covered that issue. It was suggested that it might not be affordable but I believe it is and it will be delivered. The physiotherapy issue in Temple Street Hospital, while nothing to do with the Bill, is important. No moratorium will be applied to critical such posts. That will not happen. I am informed that patients who need it are being given physiotherapy.
