We need to send a copy of our short discussion to the Department of Health, the Secretary General and the HSE to ask them to reconsider the issue in the light of this discussion, acknowledging that they might not be legally responsible but asking them to think outside the box to deal with it.

While on the matter of the HSE, Deputy Catherine Connolly flagged the matter of Mr. Tony O'Brien's evidence. We have not received further notice. At our last meeting we agreed that he would send a letter to clarify the evidence given at the previous meeting. It did not clarify every issue. We are working on scheduling a date with Mr. O'Brien to come after the recess. It was agreed that members would send specific questions on his evidence on which they needed clarification.
