Question:223 Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin asked the Minister for Health and Children the steps he proposes to take following the publication of the NEHB-commissioned report into the circumstances pertaining to the death of a person (details supplied); his views on whether the backdrop of the suspended consultants and the subsequent RCSI withdrawal of recognition of Cavan General Hospital as an accredited site for surgical training were contributory factors in the tragedy; his further views on whether under-staffing at the hospital was a factor; his further views on whether that the allocation of one consultant in emergency medicine at the hospital instead of the recommended three was also a factor; if he views as serious the matter of the missing records in the persons case; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
