The Deputy's question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. The executive has informed the Department that the HSE northern area has made arrangements to review all deaths both of residents at Leas Cross or on immediate transfer to acute hospitals. This will involve a review of the medical and-or nursing files in the first instance. This review is being undertaken independently by a professor in geriatric medicine.
