On those feelings that Dr. O'Keeffe had during that period, I note that I met Dr. O'Keeffe at the health committee yesterday, where she said that nobody told her that there was an issue in failure regarding the closing out of the audit process. Yesterday, Dr. O'Keeffe did not indicate that she had any feelings about concerns. Yesterday, she gave me the impression that from all the evidence she had seen or that had been given to her, there was no reason for alarm. I questioned her yesterday as to whether she thought it might be all going a bit too well. I asked did she not think at some point that it was going a bit well, the doctors were grand about telling the patients and everyone seems happy. Dr. O'Keeffe never seemed to question that. She did say that at the committee yesterday.
