2:00 am

Ms Mary Hayes:

That is a very valid point. The Health Research Board is collecting data on every death and it crosschecks any suspicious deaths of persons who are potentially homeless with ourselves on the pathway accommodation and support system, PASS, so it will now have a complete record. Every year, the HRB publishes a report that is based on lessons learned as regards any death it considers was a preventable death and what we should have done to intervene.
