I appreciate the Cathaoirleach letting me in because I am not a member of this committee but I am a member of the Committee on Public Petitions and the Ombudsmen and we have discussed sepsis there. While watching and contributing to another committee meeting this morning, I heard part of Dr. Henry's address. I want to ask about children, particularly those with disabilities, who have lost their lives from sepsis. I will not mention any cases but I have a particular case which is heartbreaking, because the parents are left behind. Are there special teams in the hospital for where a child is not able to tell a parent they have a sore throat or chest? Do we have special teams that can communicate with the family on this?
