Posted By Dean Stevens Whatever name they keep they both sound the same "HSE" "HSC" A good thing?. I'd say so, anyone think different though?

Posted By Adrian Watson I think the idea of merging the commission and executive is a stupid and short sighted move. The idea of having a Commission was to prevent political interference and allow all sides to have an equal say. I think that it is rather unfortunate that the commission has delegated too many of its responsibilities to the executive, thus leading to poor legislation and poorer guidance. If they wish to slimline the process, I suggest that the minister get rid of the commission so that the executive reports directly to the minister. That way we can hold both that minister accountable for HSE's lack of resources and HSE accountable for the poor standards of enforcement. (p.s. I still don't believe that sending out advisory letters is really enforcement!) Regards Adrian Watson
