I have been informed that the Health Service Executive investigated the incident that occurred prior to the death of the person referred to by the Deputy. I understand that the Health Service Executive has met with the family of the deceased and the findings of the investigation were discussed in detail with the family. The family has subsequently raised the matter with the Office of the Ombudsman who in turn made enquiries with the Health Service Executive. The Health Service Executive has recently responded to the Office of the Ombudsman in a letter dated 29th June 2006.
