Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children

HIQA Investigation into Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise (Resumed): Health Service Executive

11:30 am

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

I must apologise to Deputies Billy Kelleher and Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin and the Chairman in that the answer to the question of whether patient safety was on the agenda was in response to Deputy Billy Kelleher's question. I was slightly confused; my apologies.

On the matter raised this morning with the committee by, I think, Mr. and Mrs Molloy and about officials saying, "We are only here to listen," the transcript of this morning's meeting will be examined in the context of the investigative process to which I referred.
