Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Independent)

I do not have the information on the HIQA report to hand, but I will revert to the Deputies when the authority makes its report. The purpose of appointing Dr. Hayes was to see what recommendations he would make, having done a thorough job and including a GP, a patient advocate and so on. Following the Tallaght issue, the HSE made contact with every single hospital in the country and their clinical directors.

The report on dignity for patients cannot be made public at this time.
