Ms Elizabeth Adams:

On the duty of candour, in the UK when they instigate a serious report that is going to be notifiable, they are talking about 30 days. I am fully respectful that the seven days feels very long but the priority for us in considering it was to get the information to the patient first so that, with immediate effect, the practitioner can do the mandatory open disclosure with the patient. That is the priority and the primary purpose. After that, the reporting out to HIQA and other bodies is secondary, as was the intent. Nonetheless, we take the Deputy's point with regard to the information becoming a list and all of that.
