View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 638 to 640, inclusive, together.
As I responded to the Deputy in my reply of 13th October last, I have been advised that the circumstances surrounding this patient's death were investigated by the HSE under the National Incident Protocol following which 11 actions were recommended. I have been informed by the HSE that the Rotunda Hospital has now implemented all 11 recommendations. In relation to the other issues raised by the Deputy, as these are service matters, I have referred them to the HSE for attention and direct reply.
