Mr. Seán Egan:

We did not specifically speak to retired members of staff but we would have received submissions from them as part of the submission process. We spoke with the medical board of the hospital and a number of the clinical specialties through our monitoring work. We spoke with local public health and each of the clinical specialty leads for the clinical care programmes within the HSE. There was very extensive engagement with the clinical community to inform the body of work we have conducted.
