Mr. Pat Healy:

Within the disability sector, there would be a range of reviews under way. I do not have the figure across the whole of the health sector, across hospitals and so on. We track that and there is a national incident management process which takes account of all reviews currently under way. An important part of this which is relevant to Waterford is that one does not have to wait for the completion of a review. Significant action was taken immediately to start to address issues that were evident and to take the corrective action that was needed. That is a feature of the disability sector and applies across the system. Reviews like this are regularly undertaken although I do not have the exact figure for the whole of the health sector.
