We know it is a matter of public record that the Taoiseach has said he changed his position on mandatory open disclosure on the basis of the advice of his officials. The Minister also has received similar advice, as have I. That advice was against best international practice and evidence. When we asked the Department and the Chief Medical Officer when we met him what was the evidence against mandatory open disclosure and the implication that it would lead to less disclosures, there was no evidence, and that was admitted. Given that the Minister and his predecessor have been sent out to act on bad advice, what will the Minister do to call to account the Chief Medical Officer and the chief executive officer of the HSE?
