In regard to the investigation by the "Prime Time" programme, in correspondence received by us on 21 July, the director of strategy states:

As of now we have yet to receive any information behind the allegations from the Department of Health, the HSE or an Garda Síochána, that will help us to carry out our investigation in a thorough and complete manner. We have written to the HSE requesting details of the allegations relating to our hospitals and it has indicated that they will make this available to us.

Has that been done? Has the HSE communicated in full with St. Vincent's Healthcare Group in regard to the issues surrounding the "Prime Time" programme?
