Ms Linda Kelly:

One of the key actions that could come out of this hearing is that we need to establish a robust system for capturing the data because we can all agree that what is captured by the HSE is an under-representation of what is actually happening out there. It needs to look at how members of staff reported and I think the absence or exclusion of section 38s and community and voluntary sector organisations that are providing health services skews it as well. It should not be beyond anybody to get a robust system in place pretty rapidly whereby data can be captured, and there are versions of that in other areas that other groups in the country are doing as well around racial abuse.
