I have been informed that the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) has raised this matter with the service provider and it is satisfied that the provider has met their responsibility in relation to this matter, and that the provider has dealt with the allegations appropriately.

I can confirm that the matter was referred to the Health Service Executive (HSE) on 29/1/15. As the allegations are currently being investigated by the HSE, it is inappropriate for me to comment on this issue.
