We are going to write to the HSE, the company directly involved and the Department of Health about this case, the lessons, and the particular issue to which Deputy Cullinane referred about clinicians having discretion and not being required to inform patients directly of the outcome. We will ask why it is not mandatory for patients to get information on the basis that they are entitled to know. It should not be for the doctor to decide if a patient will be able to cope with the news.
