This sounds to me like the HSE doing a public consultation about an aspect of the health service and not talking to the patients. It is fine to talk to the consultants, professional and representative bodies, trade unions, judges, the Courts Service, Tusla and everybody involved, but how about talking to the people who have been through it? I suggest that at this stage, before Dr. Lynch does his parliamentary legal scrutiny, or whatever the next phase of this legislation is, he needs to get some honest testimonials from people. I think he will probably learn more from that than from some of the other processes. Does Dr. Lynch take my point?
