Ms Elma Walsh:

The Chairman mentioned a few names there earlier on, and God be good to them. I have the utmost respect for those people who passed away and the utmost respect for their survivors, the families and everybody, but the Chair did not mention the thousands who have availed of palliative care and who have had good results through palliative care. That is something to take into consideration. Every day thousands of people throughout Ireland who avail of palliative care have a successful passing with palliative care. Donal died at home with the help of his palliative care team. He did not go into hospital or anything. He died in his own bed. That has to be taken into consideration as well.
