I understand that the disclosure mentioned by the Deputy is being investigated by the Minister for Health. As Deputy Howlin will confirm, very serious obligations arise when people are informed about matters of this nature. It would be totally unlawful if someone were "isolated, bullied and harassed" in the manner indicated by Deputy Martin. It would be in breach of the law. I am not in a position to comment on the case in question. I will have to come back to the Deputy on the establishment of the patient advocacy service because I do not have those details to hand.
