The failings that my colleagues have raised have been largely related to executive failings. Now, you've told us here today that you don't have those powers. Well, I'm asking you, Minister, and I don't care what it takes, but you certainly need to get those powers to ensure that you can actually become less detached from a health board that is failing in its ability to deliver safe and appropriate healthcare to many constituents. Colleagues have mentioned how people have died as a result of these failings of the executive board. My final point: if I was the health Minister, believe me, there wouldn't be an executive member still in post. Thank you.
