I do not accept that it was the HSE's skill and detective work in 2013 that led to this. There were many concerns prior to this and some of them have been highlighted. The witnesses have, not dismissed, but dealt with the woman who wrote the letter, which was nothing to do with governance but had to do with counselling. Then we move forward to the PA and the Department of Health has clarified that it did not pass the information on to the HSE. Therefore, that is the second alert. Following Deputy MacSharry, the HSE clarified that someone went into Console in 2009. So, at that stage the HSE had serious concerns.
