We now know that no action occurred. We know that three in four women were not told. We know that there were open disputes, which Dr. Henry was brought into, between a clinician and the service. Dr. Henry has just stated to the committee that as far as he is concerned he initiated the process, took the appropriate action, and was led to believe that things were happening. Does he, bearing in mind what we now know, believe he was misinformed by other parts of the HSE? It seems he was led to believe things were happening that clearly were not happening.
