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:
To go forward, regarding staff rights taking priority over patient safety, I referred to the HSE advocacy investigation into the way we had been treated. It commenced in November 2012 and, as we sit here, is not complete. Three people identified in it launched a legal challenge to it in August 2013 and our update each month since August 2013 has been that we will be updated in another month. It has been like that since. Has there been a cover-up? Definitely, every single barrier possible has been put in our path to ensure the status quo.
