A mythical beast

HAVING given the issue of a new name for the soon-to-be-defunct HSE some thought, I have arrived at the conclusion that an appropriate moniker might be HYDRA, in honour of the mythological nine-headed monster.

I include HIQA and PCRS among the heads along with the seven proposed ‘sectors’. It is to be hoped the legendary venom of the creature does not continue to be a feature.
