It is my understanding from the details supplied by the Deputy that this case involves an alleged assault by a resident in an approved centre on a fellow patient. As this incident has been reported to the Gardai, it would be inappropriate for me comment any further at this time. I have, however, requested the HSE to provide me with a report on this matter, including the circumstances around the alleged medication error.
