I was here for that.
The principles of open disclosure in the HSE are: acknowledgement; truthfulness, timeliness and clarity of communication; apology-expression of regret, recognising the expectations of service users, that they may reasonably expect to be fully informed of the facts and consequences in relation to an adverse event; and clinical governance. Does Mr. O'Brien believe that the case of Vicky Phelan and the subsequent cases constitutes a failure of clinical and managerial governance within the HSE?
