Ms Frances Spillane:

Certainly we have received a lot of information from the HSE. We rely completely on the HSE all the time for information on operational matters, so we are constantly in contact with it. For example, we would have been in contact with it for a briefing for Leaders' Questions on this issue. It is very difficult to say categorically that I am absolutely satisfied that we got all of the information. To the extent that we have a very good working relationship with the people in the disability unit in the HSE, they do send us prompt replies to queries all the time.
