In response to the Deputy, I read a prepared script on the issue that the Deputy presented for discussion, namely the 2014 report. I outlined to Deputy Donnelly the number of recommendations that were acted on. He has asked for clarity on the recommendations that have been implemented and I will request that clarity from the HSE which is the organisation that is delivering the service and responsible for it. I will also pass on his request to the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, that the report be published and will ask the Minister to respond to the Deputy directly on that matter. It is not for me to instruct the HSE but I will certainly ask the Minister for Health to do so on behalf of Deputy Donnelly. I will also pass on to the HSE the Deputy's request that a detailed audit be conducted. I will ask the HSE to provide clarity on that. Deputy Donnelly is referring to a recent case about which I do not want to comment but I have been assured that it is an isolated case. That is our understanding but an investigation is ongoing, the result of which will be available in a couple of days.
