The family wished and requested an independent investigation. Dr. O'Donnell is doing that investigation but there is also real concern among the family and the community as to what happened. In such a situation it is crucial that we ascertain what led to that delay, that it be published, that the community be aware of what happened and that it be clear what steps have been taken to address it so that confidence is there that it will not happen again. We want to ensure at least that no other family experiences the same traumatic situation this family did. I also asked about the situation in Inishowen. When one ambulance is on duty after 5 p.m. and overnight and it is called away to a hospital, what happens regarding a replacement ambulance?
