The HSE has advised that this report is currently subject to detailed internal considerations with relevant staff to ensure learning is maximised and further action is taken as appropriate. The report will be published in early 2013.

The HSE also advised that there was an immediate management review and a series of changes including appointment of a new Unit Manager; reduction in capacity at the unit; a detailed programme of management intervention and support; and an external review of the incident was commissioned.
