Would Ms Nugent admit, given those reports, all of the internal reports and not to mention the NTPF which we will come back to and will have another internal report, that something is seriously amiss, notwithstanding the great work being done? I acknowledge HIQA said there was a burden on management that was not tolerable. Those are my words; I am paraphrasing. In the meantime, this is the legacy: unnecessary surgery being done, delayed spinal surgery and implants going in that were not suitable. Does Ms Nugent agree that this is intolerable and unacceptable and that the procedures have utterly failed? She came in here to reassure us but she is not aware of it. Is it not difficult to get reassurance from that?
