I have not metwith hospital officials in relation to issues which have arisen at the Midland Regional Hospital, Portlaoise. However, the Deputy will be aware that I have asked the Chief Medical Officer to provide me with a report on the issues pertaining to the deaths of infants atPortlaoise. Pending finalisation of that report, I am not in a position to make any further comments in the matter. The CMO's report will be completed as expeditiously as possible.
