Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy said he has looked at the report. He will have noted the conclusion of Judge Harding Clark that the hospital had made major improvements and she felt it was a remote chance that such issues could recur. However, she highlighted other areas that needed to be put right. The Tánaiste will start addressing those issues in today's discussions with the board. Professor Drumm has already been looking at the issues in the north east. The number of consultants in the hospital has doubled and major improvements have been made. I have answered the question already.
