How is the HSE as a service provider and funder of other organisations going to ensure that there is a quality relationship? We have seen now that all the HIQA reports in the world will not make a blind bit of difference for the residents. It is alarming for parents and relatives not just in respect of bungalow 3, but across the country. It is alarming for parents of children who have to look into the future and decide what is best for their children. They will not have confidence that their children will be happy and well looked after in years to come. I want to know what we are going to do.

I have a specific question for Dr. Crowley. HIQA went in on foot of somebody dying and Dr. Crowley's role is in regard to patient safety. What was his response as head of patient safety when he heard that a patient and a client of the HSE had died in care?
