Madam, - I noted with wonder Mary Harney's miraculous reappearance in the media last week.

Having been conspicuous in her absence for the past few months, when every mention of a problem in the health services was referred to as "a matter for the HSE", Ms Harney has suddenly resurrected her public persona and responsibilities as soon as there is a scintilla of good news.

Can we expect her to continue this new-found interest in our hospitals and care services and take responsibility for all aspects of the health service - not just the good news parts? - Yours, etc,
