The report of the review panel examining the circumstances surrounding the death of Róisín Ruddle made 13 recommendations. The implementation of most of the recommendations is a matter for Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin, in conjunction with the Health Service Executive. I am advised that four of the recommendations have already been implemented in full by the hospital. Plans have been developed for the implementation of a further five of the recommendations and proposals to address two other recommendations are being explored by the hospital with the Health Service Executive. I will bring proposals to Government shortly on two recommendations on paediatric nurse recruitment and training. Róisín's family is being kept informed of the position.
