For me, a systemic failure is when the body decides it should tell people but decides to leave it to somebody else and at somebody else's discretion. That is a systemic failure because there was no firm decision taken to inform the women. That was in February 2016, through the circular. It was not until 30 April 2018 that the HSE changed that position and said that each hospital group was required to tell each of the 162 women. Up to that point, there was a discretion for consultants to tell the women. Is that a factual statement? Yes or no?
