Ms Anne O'Connor:

As to whether I could say for sure that there will never be instances in services again, absolutely not: I would never say that in respect of health services.

We know there is a specific situation. This was not a generalised issue relating to several areas; it was specific to one area. It has, of course, caused significant concern for us all that it happened and we want to ensure it does not happen again.
