I mean Jackie you expressed<br />
disappointment about us in a single system being able to<br />
redraw this map of provision. I mean there’s two elements to<br />
that, the first was that for good or ill, given what we found at<br />
the point when Argyle <strong>and</strong> <strong>Clyde</strong> Health Board was being<br />
abolished <strong>and</strong> not least the extensive sense of hurt <strong>and</strong> even<br />
failure in lots of circumstances among staff.<br />
We made a judgement that in the first<br />
instance we would maintain a <strong>Clyde</strong> Directorate for two years<br />
or thereby <strong>and</strong> then integrate the management of all of the<br />
services into a single entity.<br />
Now that’s a judgement that we took at<br />
that point in time based on how we envisaged the arrangements<br />
we were inheriting. We have now moved to fuse all of those<br />
clinical service teams so that we no longer have a <strong>Clyde</strong> Acute<br />
Services Directorate. We have brought surgery within <strong>Clyde</strong><br />
into the single <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Glasgow</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Clyde</strong> Surgical
