I have a general question on learning. We have gone to great effort and people's lives have been affected. Generally, we sit here every week and try to prevent events from happening and to get our heads around liability. Everyone has a right to go to court, but various incidents lead up to such situations. Coincidentally, we were to discuss and learn from the report on Portiuncula Hospital, Ballinasloe, that was published this year, but I understand that it has been adjourned to another day. What jumped out were the failures to learn and the opportunities to learn that were repeatedly missed. The lack of staff also put them under tremendous pressure.
Is tuberculosis a notifiable disease?
