Mr. Michael Fitzgerald:

I agree with the Senator in the context of the service that the locum consultant provided and his raising of the concern which was picked up on straightaway by the clinical director and the executive clinical director and ultimately led to the full look-back review being undertaken. In his work, not only did he raise the concern, he also worked extremely hard to identify children for whom there were concerns with regard to their over-medication or where incorrect medication was being provided to the children, especially while we were doing the audit of the 50 cases. The outcome of the audit of the 50 cases helped us to fashion the overall look-back review terms of reference for Dr. Maskey's report. I will not comment on specifics with regard to anything other than that. I do not want to comment specifically about individual cases, etc.
