Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) John Brady: Mr. Watt thinks the Department did.

Will he take the opportunity here now to apologise to those families who were directly impacted?

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) John Brady: I am sorry, Mr. Watt, the ruling was only made last year by the Data Protection Commissioner. A fine of €22,500 was issued and Mr. Watt's own officials say the Department got off lightly. I am asking him now if he will issue an apology to those families.

Regarding the whistleblower who exposed this practice regarding these dossiers, Shane Corr, would Mr. Watt agree that he did the State a massive service in exposing this rotten practice within the Department?

Chapter 18 - Health Service Executive Funding and Financial Reporting (1 Feb 2024) John Brady: I have limited time. I will ask about the recruitment embargo and the impact it is having and will have.
