Cuirim fáilte romhaibh. I do not think it is our role to be emotional or call for heads on a plate. It is our role to look at how this happened and ensure there is accountability in the spending of public money and so on. I have looked at Building A Better Health Service 2016, on page 16 of which it is stated the patient, the person, should be engaged, enabled and empowered to be at the centre of service delivery. It also references care, compassion, trust and learning. In that regard, will Mr. O'Brien explain how this matter was not brought to his attention? If I am incorrect that it was not brought to his attention, perhaps he might clarify how it was brought to his attention.
