I beg the indulgence of the House because it is important to put this on the record. The letter requested that the original report containing the error be replaced with the correct version of the report, which was enclosed. The Tusla social work team leader advised by phone on 15 May 2014 that the garda in charge of the investigation of this report had been contacted and informed of the error and advised that an amended report would be issued to him. Between 16 May 2014 and 21 July 2014, there were several communications between the HSE and the gardaí clarifying the nature of the error on the form. A letter from the HSE director of counselling to An Garda Síochána clarified that the administrative error occurred as a result of a typographical mistake when information from a report template was cut and pasted into another template, and the letter stated that the inaccurate information in the original report was in one section only, as previously outlined, and did not relate to the person who was alleged to have abused client X but that all other information contained in the report was accurate. Letters were also sent to the client updating her on the actions that had taken place and to the HSE regional director of consumer affairs.
