Public Accounts Committee

HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion

12:00 pm

Mr. Pat Healy:

What I was articulating in the response, including in relation to Ann's case, and what is in the statement references what actually happened. I am trying to articulate, without the published report, what the circumstances were at the time and the thinking on what was being pursued locally. That is what I am trying to do. I am not making a judgment on it but just articulating a position that is actually from the records and what we are able to identify as having happened. Of course, the commission will examine that and see whether that is appropriate.
