I hate to cut across Dr. Healy, but if we are dealing with these cases, we might as well be blunt about it. They are the most serious of them, the ones that could end up costing millions in liabilities paid out to people who have gone through extraordinary trauma and are suffering lifelong consequences as a result of mistakes made within hospital settings. It is okay to say that certain HSE facilities have these records, but the problem is that all of them need to have them in order for the system to work. That is the point I want to make. The witnesses can see that my time is out, but I will ask them just one question. Is there a timeline for every HSE facility, particularly hospitals run by the HSE, to have that system in place? Is there a window or a timeframe for that to happen?
