Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 May 2005
148 Ms McManus asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the number of recommendations of the report reviewing the events surrounding the death of Róisín Ruddle which have been implemented; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [17046/05]
View answerThe report of the review panel examining the circumstances surrounding the death of Róisín Ruddle made 13 recommendations. The implementation of most of the recommendations is a matter for Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin, in conjunction with the Health Service Executive. I am advised that four of the recommendations have already been implemented in full by the hospital. Plans have been developed for the implementation of a further five of the recommendations and proposals to address two other recommendations are being explored by the hospital with the Health Service Executive. I will bring proposals to Government shortly on two recommendations on paediatric nurse recruitment and training. Róisín's family is being kept informed of the position.
