Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

Report on Perinatal Deaths at Midland Regional Hospital: Discussion

11:10 am

Dr. Tony Holohan:

In the time period we have not been able to answer the question of why, but they are of course legitimate questions. This report simply sets out what happened. It provides the data on the number of posts, the numbers not filled and so forth. There are potentially many reasons these posts were not filled but we did not attempt to analyse the reason in that regard.

Another question I overlooked concerned whether there was a trigger for all of this. I do not think it was a single event but rather the fact that, over a period of time, a culture became ingrained-----
