Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I do not wish to be awkward but is the Minister of State familiar with the author of the report to which he refers? I am referring to Dr. Dermot Power, a consultant geriatrician at the Mater Hospital who wrote a report for the HSE on nursing homes. Is that the report to which the Minister of State is referring? Has the HSE informed him that Dr. Dermot Power compiled a report in respect of nursing homes issues? Is the Minister of State familiar with the doctor in question and is he aware of the report to which I refer?
