The independent investigation committee appointed by the Health Service Executive to investigate the circumstances of the case referred to by the Deputy has completed a draft report. In observing due process the committee is circulating extracts of the draft report to those people involved in the incident affording them an opportunity to comment. The committee will consider such comments prior to submitting its report to the HSE. This process is now expected to be concluded and the report submitted to the HSE by mid June 2009. The question of its dissemination will then be a matter for the HSE.
