Counselling support has been made available by the HSE for former patients of the person concerned following the findings of a recent Medical Council Inquiry. The need for additional support will be monitored. The HSE has assigned co-ordinating responsibility for these matters to the Area Manager for Consumer Affairs in the North East who will liaise as required with former patients and support groups.

The HSE has been requested to reply directly to the Deputy in respect of the additional issues raised.
