An Independent Review Committee, chaired by Dr. Joe Duggan, Consultant Physician and Geriatrician, was established in January 2006. The Health Service Executive has confirmed that the publication of the report of the Independent Review Committee on HSE Services provided to the individual the Deputy is referring to, has been deferred at the request of the Chief State Solicitors Office in consultation with An Garda Síochána and the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The HSE has been advised that publication of the report at this time, has the potential to prejudice the State case on this matter.
