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:

On the question of people being afraid of being sued, which Deputy Mitchell O'Connor mentioned, and to answer Deputy Crown's question, it may be an issue that needs to be taken up by the Committee of Public Accounts rather than this forum. Under section 48 of the Health Act, any matter that is or has been before the courts cannot be investigated by the HSE. People were encouraged to sue. We were encouraged to sue.
