I want to finish on that. Very similar testimonies were heard in the Aoife Johnston inquest. I am concerned about the lack of dignity and respect for patients. If a doctor comes to you to talk about your medical experience in front of other patients on hospital trolleys, it is self-evident that there is a lack of dignity. Following this session, we need to follow up on all these issues with the HSE because they are so important to patient safety. I thank the delegates again for their time today.
