Question:

601. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Health if the family of a person (details supplied) was notified that carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae, CPE, was detected prior to his death; and if CPE was recorded on his death certificate. [35539/18]

Written answers

Minister for Health

My sympathies are with the family on the loss of their loved one. As Minister for Health, I cannot comment on individual specific cases, however should the family have queries regarding their loved one's care, they should contact the HSE directly.
