They have got no information from the HSE in response to a freedom of information request. Mr. Reid said he is aware of some reasons the RCSI hospitals group went in there. I think Mr. Reid owes it to the families to make sure he contacts them following this meeting. I want him to meet with the families. I believe that he should meet with them and that Mr. Reid has to be accountable. This was the only nursing home in the country that the HSE went into. I do not want to harangue Mr. Reid, and I do not intend to be rude in any way, but I think he must meet with the families. They must get closure. It is unacceptable what is happening to these families.
