There is a multi-stakeholder group, which includes representatives of the HSE, HIQA, the Mental Health Commission, the State Claims Agency and the Department of Health. It will reconvene later this week to conclude the work. I will ask the Department to send a note to the committee on the status of that work. The short answer is that HIQA has basically said this is the right way to go but changes are needed. A multi-stakeholder group will meet to ensure that happens. I will ask the Department to provide a technical note to the committee to that effect.
