I will look at two very specific issues that are of concern. The claim made by the four consultant pathologists was that bodies were decomposing on trolleys and some families could not wake their loved ones in open caskets but the hospital group is saying it had no evidence of that. These are very serious claims. As it also was accepted by the pathologists and by the hospital that no family in Waterford or the south east was ever informed of any problems at the mortuary, there is an issue of open disclosure. Will these issues also be examined in the review? As I am sure Mr. Breslin will agree, we cannot have claims and counterclaims and no ability or mechanism to establish exactly what happened. Can he assure us that those issues will be examined?
