I have to put the crux of the issue on the record. It is all about communication.

Some of the speakers today have mentioned that communication is very poor. If we as elected representatives receive separate disclosures on this, will the witnesses give a commitment that somebody in the system who makes such a statement will be protected and the issues will be resolved? It is an issue when things get heated like this and people are excluded. I do not want to get into exclusion because I am aware some staff have been excluded from some meetings and some staff who are not part of the HSE remit but are in the centre have been excluded. Can I get a commitment on that?
