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:

Yes. I have had that reported to me as being one of the things that was said this morning.

As I said, that will be in the transcript and be part of the investigation process.

There is the question of the Minister's term of "lied". I watched some part of another "Prime Time" programme in which there was not open disclosure or candour, so the truth was not told. I would not call it a lie at this stage but I understand why that term would be associated with it.
