Legislature. (Further controls over health matter are provided by
(i) the annual Dail debate on Health Estimates (ii) Dail Questions
and (iii ) the Public Accounts Committee) . Decisions on major matters
of health policy are taken by the Government, usually on the initiative of the Minister for Health. Special mention was made to the Personnel function and a new personnel staff unit was created

of health services and the implementation of health policy. The Department is organised on the basis of me
Aireacht/Executive Agency model as recommended by the Public Services
Organisation Review Group (Commonly known as the "Devlin Report") . In

the formulation , direction and control of policy and overall programmes
for its implementation supported by advisory bodies, as shown in the
