I will have to take a look at the parliamentary question answer. The chief clinical officer got a copy of the report in July, a copy of the report will have been sent to me in August, there was a disclosure process gone through with the families and then there was a proposed publication date after full disclosure had been gone through with the families. The report in The Ditchwas ahead of full disclosure having happened with the families, which led to the report’s publication being accelerated. Specific to the publication of the report, it was not the view of CHI that the internal or the external reports were going to be published. Their view was that they were going to publish this condensed version. That was never acceptable to me and it was never acceptable to the HSE, and both the chief executive and I intervened directly to state that both reports needed to be published in full.
