Therefore, regrettably, we do not have any reports on Cavan 13 months on. I do not seek to go into the Cavan tragedies in detail, but am asking for an explanation in regard to what are referred to as "formal orders" issuing from the Minister and "requests" issuing from the Minister. It has been suggested there is a significant difference. In this instance, a "request" was made, but that is not a compulsory demand of HIQA by the Minister. Will Mr. Quinn clarify that, given that the Minister indicated at the time the review would be done "in tandem with" the Portlaoise review. It was reported to me a few moments ago that HIQA made contact with the HSE in this regard and details for the three incidents - now there is a fourth - have been furnished to the authority. When did this happen?
