HIQA's report states - Ms McGuinness states the HSE has already acted on this - that certain people indicated that they do not possess the appropriate skills in respect of the duties they currently perform and that they have not been given job descriptions. Ms McGuinness provided an undertaking to review the position in this regard. There appears to be a stand-off between the HSE and HIQA. How were the people who were interviewed by HIQA selected? Did the authority interview everybody or were certain individuals put forward for interview? What process was used? What Ms McGuinness is stating now is different to what the representatives from HIQA indicated last week. Deputy McLellan asked the same question. How many people were interviewed? Something does not add up in respect of this matter.
