Then there is a problem. There are two questions. First, was there a response after the HIQA inspection? What about the response previously when the problem was highlighted by staff? Why did it take HIQA? If that is the situation in one hospital it raises questions, notwithstanding all the lovely stuff I read here. I note the special committee, and I see the doctor that chaired the inquiry into Ms Savita Halappanavar's death is on that committee. I welcome all of that. Sometimes I read and read and say "Good Lord". There are so many cases where risk assessment is simply not working. I am only highlighting a tiny bit.
