Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Whistleblower Allegations: Department of Health
Mr. Robert Watt:
Yes. Given the nature of protected disclosures, if the Department considers that a review is warranted and there is evidence, a review is undertaken. The previous Secretary General and others concluded that a review was warranted. I believe that was the right conclusion. That report, which is very detailed, was commissioned and went through all the allegations and found that there was no basis behind the allegations and there was no evidence of wrongdoing in respect of any of the allegations, of which there were many.
