John McGuinness: I just want to ask the question. Did Mr. Healy hear it at that conference?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: Yes, but arising from the question Mr. Healy would have known that the issue was not being dealt with it. It had not come back to his attention or that of the HSE and this was five years down the road.

John McGuinness: So Mr. Healy knew about it. Is there such a position as national director for quality and patient safety?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: Is Mr. O'Brien aware that the individual in the position of national director for quality and patient safety was notified about a lot of the issues that we are talking about today?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: Yes, but Mr. O'Brien should have known about it beforehand. This is his organisation. Is he aware of the fact that the individual holding that most senior office within the HSE did not see fit even to acknowledge the letter?

John McGuinness: Where is Mr. Healy going with this answer?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: That sounds great. This person, namely, the national director of quality and patient safety, was written to on 24 November 2014 and the detail of the issues was outlined. It was intimated that should the director be interested in hearing about the experience of the people in question as whistleblowers, the director should contact them. However, there was no reply; nothing; zilch. I have a...

John McGuinness: Is there a minute available regarding that decision? While I understand I cannot get it today, is there a note that informs Mr. O'Brien why that group of three saw fit to leave Grace where she was and ignore her rights?
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: Can you say that substantial information stands up their decision to leave Grace there?

John McGuinness: Mr. O'Brien, I think you know what Deputy McDonald means and to answer her with that remark is not treating the issue seriously.

John McGuinness: Deputy McDonald has asked a question and Mr. O'Brien is about to take Mr. Healy's lead and go on with the nonsense.
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: I am asking you to please answer the question that Deputy McDonald has asked.
- Public Accounts Committee: HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion (2 Feb 2016)
John McGuinness: Mr. O'Brien, you and the members have been here since 12 o'clock. I am suggesting that we take a break for half an hour. Before we suspend, I want to put two things on record for this part of the meeting. In 2009, the HSE was told about the risk to Ann and was asked to take the necessary and reasonable steps to protect her. That is a fact. She was still there in 2013. In respect of...
