That is the problem. That is what we have learned today. We are so far into the crisis and nobody is on a verbal warning or a written warning, subject to suspension or anything else because nobody seems to have any sanction available. Not even the public, it seems, has a sanction. That is the crux of the problem. I ask the witness present from the HSE who is in a position to answer if the State pays out in a case involving medical negligence or a clinical issue without an admission of liability, is there retraining, monitoring or supervision to ensure the person or persons involved do not mess up again?
