Mr. Pat Healy:

When the Devine report, which we intend to publish, comes out, it will be clearly seen there were deficiencies and failures in that regard. Some of the findings will relate to information that was available at the time and whether it was followed up appropriately. It would be of great value from the HSE's point of view if we were able to publish both reports because it would be a comprehensive articulation of the issues. Unfortunately, however, we are precluded from doing that at present because of the Garda inquiry and the requirement for approval from the Office of Wards of Court to publish this documentation. At the earliest possible opportunity after clearance has been given, we will publish these reports and it will be evident to members of the committee and others that there were deficiencies but no cover-up.
