I am advised by Saolta Hospital Group that appropriate control measures are currently in place in Mayo University Hospital in relation to Covid-19.
Saolta Hospital Group has also advised that Mayo University Hospital will fully examine all of the elements of the care provided to the individual. I am informed that the General Manager of the hospital has been in contact with the person's family to advise of this, and that the process of reviewing the individual's care is underway. The hospital will be in direct contact with the individual's family in this regard.
I am also requesting a report from the CEO of the HSE on the Covid-19 measures taken at Mayo University Hospital from the outset of the pandemic, his views on the appropriateness of these measures at the particular points in time involved and his reassurance that all reasonable measures are now being taken to protect the safety of patients and staff in Mayo University Hospital.
