I was very concerned to learn of the death of the lady concerned and I wish to extend my sincere sympathies to her family at this very difficult time.

I have requested the Health Service Executive (HSE), as the appropriate body to consider this case in the first instance, to furnish a report, as a matter of urgency, to my Department on the issues raised. I will reply directly to the Deputy on foot of the HSE response.
