I absolutely would. I join with the Deputy in offering my sincere condolences to the family of baby Mihai on their tragic loss. Children Health Ireland, CHI, have advised the Department that a review has been commissioned in relation to Mihai's care which is normal process under the HSE's incident management framework. It also says that it will engage with the family on the terms of reference and to discuss the level of involvement that the family wishes to have in the review. It will also engage with the family to offer supports in what is an extraordinarily difficult time. It is not appropriate for me to comment further on Mihai's case while that review is underway and a coroner's inquest is still pending but I do obviously want to offer my deepest sympathies to the family. I do believe that the family needs to be involved in that independent review and in what that looks like.
