Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We are all aware that Dr. Scally is independent in his work, which is right and proper. We also all agreed to the terms of reference and they are very clear on the work Dr. Scally is to set about doing. He has shown himself to be well able to get to the bottom of serious issues. While I can absolutely understand how people who have been so badly let down cannot have confidence in elements of the health service and while I cannot speak for them, it is fair to say they can have confidence in the work of Dr. Scally who is also engaging with them directly. What the Deputy has referred to is not good enough in any way. It disgusts me to hear it. Immediately after we conclude priority questions in the Chamber I will get my Department to make direct contact with the HSE to ensure all documentation and review findings - information that belongs to the women in question - will be provided for them without any bureaucratic hurdle whatsoever. I give the Deputy my word that I will follow up on that matter now.
