Of major concern to many, including me, is the fact that Dr. Herity received a note prepared by the HSE prior to commencing his deliberations. The note read: "However it has been the view of the Department that providing additional facilities and extending PPCI (angioplasty) services, in a geographical area which does not have the population base to justify such a service, would be wasteful of very limited resources". I will ask my question for the third time. How did this recommendation from the HSE affect Dr. Herity's outlook and the overall report, including its findings?
