The Health Service Executive has accepted the report of the Health Information and Quality Authority into the circumstances surrounding the misdiagnosis of the person referred to by the deputy and has developed an action plan around the implementation of the 15 recommendations in the report. I am informed that this action plan has been approved by the HSE Management Team and has been communicated to the Health Information and Quality Authority. The plan will be considered by the HSE Board at their next meeting on 12th June. The implementation of the action plan will be monitored by the HSE, in conjunction with my Department.
