I propose to take Questions Nos. 246 and 247 together.

Following the death of Mr. Patrick Walsh in Monaghan Hospital on 14 October 2005, the Health Service Executive commissioned Mr. Patrick Declan Carey, a consultant surgeon at Belfast City Hospital and an honorary senior lecturer at Queen's University, and Professor John Monson, Professor of Surgery, University of Hull, to carry out an independent and external review. The executive has advised my Department that the review has commenced with an anticipated completion date of late March-April 2006.
