I concur with Deputy Deasy on the importance of ascertaining how widespread are the practices highlighted in the document. Is this an isolated incident or are complaints in respect of vulnerable adults, children and others being investigated in a similar fashion? Members are at a loss because we do not have access to the information that is available to the media. The Health Service Executive has a responsibility to ensure that people who approach it are treated with dignity. The scant information available to us suggests there are serious questions to be asked.
