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

I am advised that regular re-audits of the maternity unit at Portiuncula University Hospital have confirmed that there is no continuing patient safety concern arising from the issues identified.

I am also advised that while the work to publish the overall report continues, implementation of the recommendations from the individual systems analysis reports provided to the families in April is progressing.
