Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Yes. The Health Service Executive's disciplinary code which is consistent with the standards required of a public body has four levels. It has been published and is on the HSE's website. Based on what the investigator finds, the explanations will be put forward by any individual facing a disciplinary hearing. The panel which will hear them will then decide, first, if a case has been shown and, second, what is the appropriate response from an accountability point of view.
