As the Deputy may be aware, following the publication of the Hynes report, the Health Service Executive commenced a review into the deaths of residents of Leas Cross. This review is being carried out by Professor Des O'Neill, Professor of Geriatric Medicine, Tallaght Hospital.

I understand from the HSE that Professor O'Neill is to finalise his report within the coming weeks and that once the report is finalised, appropriate steps will be taken by the HSE to ensure that all of the recommendations arising will be considered and will inform best practice.
