Absolutely, and we need to be very clear about that. The responsibility lies at the door of the employer, the HSE, individual hospitals and also the section 39s. I want to go back to the inadequate role the HSE is playing at the moment. Ideally employers should be prosecuted for failing to provide safe working conditions for staff. Do I take from the response given earlier that there have not been any prosecutions at all in respect of the Health and Safety Authority, HSA, taking a prosecution against the HSE or other employer organisations?
