I am not sure I quite agree with that, although I would like some guidance from the Ombudsman on it. The report is about a culture that appears to be present in the Department of Health over many years. A series of things have happened which indicate a particular culture in the Department of Health. I would not agree with what Senator Ó Clochartaigh said about other Departments.

That may or may not be true. It would involve having to widen the camera way too much. Perhaps other Departments will come into focus in this regard when we receive other petitions. We may encounter cultural problems there as well. We should bring in representatives of the Department of Health to respond to the case that has been stated in this report, which is that there appears to have been a cultural problem in the Department over decades. We have three instances of this, one of which is very current and another of which is pretty current. Are the issues at the centre of the Who Cares report not still pretty current?
