376. To ask the Minister for Health the reason the head of the Health Service Executive's national incident management and learning team stood down from the review of maternity services at Portiuncula Hospital in County Galway; if a person has been appointed to replace head of the team; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

On 30th March last, Saolta University Health Care Group announced the membership of the independent review team who will conduct the review of the maternity services at Portiuncula Hospital Ballinasloe and of a number of perinatal events between 2008 and November 2014.

As this is a service matter the question has been referred to the Health Service Executive for attention and direct reply to the Deputy.

If no reply has been received from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with the Executive.
