It has been suggested by some parents that one tired doctor should not excuse the mistreatment of 227 children, as was outlined clearly in the report. The HSE report states that this was due to lack of knowledge about the best way to do things. Again, the question that must be asked is how such a doctor, with this lack of knowledge, can be placed in the role. Is there not a requirement for a paediatric specialist to prescribe medication to children?
