I do not mean to be flippant, but if you reach a situation where there is negligence caused by an error on the part of a medical professional - sadly, because of the IT systems in place, that can occur - you end up in a situation where it is your problem and your responsibility. I do not mean to be direct with Mr. Breen, but do not sell me that one. I am asking him a very clear question. I think this is one of the greatest problems we have with the health service at the moment. All I am trying to ask him is whether he is telling the HSE that this is a problem it needs to fix. It is costing the State potentially hundreds of millions annually.
