Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children
HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise (Resumed): Parents and Patient Advocates
11:30 am
Mr. Mark Molloy:
No, I am fine. In terms of what Róisín was saying, no one was reported to An Bord Altranais or the Medical Council throughout 2012 and 2013 with regard to our cases until the "Prime Time" programme and until Dr. Tony Holohan went into Portlaoise hospital, following which there were reports.
We were obliged to report a nurse to An Bord Altranais and a doctor to the Medical Council, not the HSE. No one was disciplined by the HSE. I will again go back to the note change. There was evidence during the inquest on the changing of a legal document. He had changed Mark's notes and was not disciplined. The statistics were incorrect. The National Perinatal Epidemiology Centre, NPEC, statistics were incorrect. Mark was not reported to it. A lady contacted Róisín yesterday to say her baby had died eight years ago. When she went to get the stillbirth certificate, there was no record of him.
