The Report was received by the Department of Health earlier this month. This is a detailed report and the Minister for Health is now considering its findings. When he has considered these, discussed them with the HSE and consulted as necessary with the Minister for Public Expenditure and the Attorney General, the Minister will be reporting to Government on the matter.
