Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Proposed Appointment of Chief Medical Officer to a Role at a Higher Education Institution: Discussion

Mr. Robert Watt:

That is fair comment. There was a lot of confusion and people reaching conclusions based on information that was not fully out there or partial interpretation of information. That is probably true. With the benefit of hindsight, we should have issued a holding statement and said that further detail was to be worked out and we would make a fuller statement in due course. We did respond to media queries during the week. Obviously, the communication of this could have been better. That is unfortunate.
