The problems start in the HSE. We want the HSE to take more ownership. The view seems to have been that since the agency handles all the cases and gets all the legal documents and discovery, the minute a case comes in it is over to the agency. This lack of communication has contributed to the lack of adequate learning. The HSE only learns when the case is over. If the chief executive only hears about these issues after a High Court case or on RTÉ's "Six One" news programme, then something is faulty in the system. Is Mr. Lynch a medical person?
