Since 2010 there have been three cases of patients having Legionella's Disease as a consequence of being a patient of a HSE healthcare facility. In each incident a very detailed investigation and consequence control measures procedure were put in place where necessary. A group within the HSE is updating guidance on the prevention and control of Legionellosis in Ireland. The HSE has been requested to supply the details of the healthcare facilities directly to the Deputy.
