150. To ask the Minister for Health if further external investigation into CPE deaths in UHL is planned in view of the fact that some persons with CPE that died during the period of the recent external review of CPE deaths in UHL were not included in the review (details supplied). [49923/18]

My Department and I have been kept informed of an external review commissioned last year by University of Limerick Hospitals Group (ULHG), regarding patients with CPE and concerns regarding whether CPE was a factor in the deaths of a number of these patients. In addition, University Hospital Limerick conducted an internal review. The HSE and ULHG have published a final anonymised report combining the two review findings and have advised that the review process was both robust and comprehensive.

As there has been both an internal and external review into CPE in University Hospital Limerick, the facts have been established using robust methodologies and clinical expertise.

As the Deputy's question refers to the details of a particular individual, I have referred your question to the HSE for direct reply.
