First, again, in the Maskey report, Dr. Seán Maskey, who carried out the lookback review at south Kerry CAMHS, previously reviewed not just files in south Kerry but also a small number of files in north Kerry. Dr. Maskey included 35 files from north Kerry CAMHS in his review. For completeness and as matter good practice, the HSE is currently screening files in north Kerry so it can identify any remaining files where the doctor involved may have had an involvement at any level. The HSE expects that many of these files will have previously been identified. This is not a review; it is a preliminary screening. Once files have been screened, any cases where there may be a potential for a clinical concern will be examined by Dr. Maskey. The HSE has asked Dr. Maskey to do this work given his experience, knowledge and his familiarity given the work he has already done. Dr. Maskey indicated that he will be available to undertake this work in the coming months. The HSE is currently approximately halfway through the preliminary screening.
