Professor Ursula Kilkelly:

I completely agree that the principle is simple. That was the essence of the statement which the board made in the last couple of months. It made that very clear. We will be going through the implications of the judgment in a very detailed way. I can absolutely guarantee that every lesson to be learnt from it will be learnt. If additional measures and steps need to be taken when we have considered the judgment in full, they will also be part of our process. On a preliminary reading, my sense is that the judgment is highlighting issues which we already know about and which contributed to the conclusions of the HIQA report, particularly around recording. Those conclusions have led to various steps which have been taken over the last six to nine months, on top of others.
