In respect of best practice in this matter, the production of the reports has identified very significant shortcomings. It seems that those significant shortcomings were then put into cold storage, by virtue of the fact that there was a Garda investigation, of which they were not the subject, although they may well have been an ancillary part. That prevented the HSE from taking the individuals through a disciplinary process. Does that not put other clients at risk? It may well be best practice from the point of view of the personnel but is it best practice in respect of the subject? I am asking about this in a general way, not necessarily in connection with Grace but in terms of a process being flawed. How can the organisation possibly act on something if it takes that particular approach?
