Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 March 2014
411. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Health the specific issues that caused three members of the Health Information and Quality Authority board to resign from their positions earlier this month; when he was first advised of the likelihood of these resignations occurring; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10512/14]
View answerDuring February, 2014 I received letters of resignation from 3 Board Members of the Health Information and Quality Authority. All three resigned in order to reduce the risk of any real, potential or perceived conflicts of interest arising from their membership of the Board of the Authority. I appreciate and understand the difficult decision that they have made which was taken in the best interests of the Authority.
