Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 September 2005
373 Mr. Neville asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children the position in respect of the publishing of the report on the death by suicide of a person (details supplied) on 20 September 2002; and the position regarding the implementations of the recommendations of the review and treatment of the person in the course of their admission to the acute psychiatric inpatient unit in the Mid-Western Regional Hospital. [25159/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Office of the Attorney General has advised my Department that it would not be appropriate to publish the report referred to by the Deputy. Therefore, on the basis of this advice it is not my intention to have this report published. The Deputy's second question relates to the management and delivery of health and personal social services, which are the responsibility of the Health Service Executive under the Health Act 2004. Accordingly, my Department has requested the parliamentary affairs division of the executive to arrange to have this matter investigated and to have a reply issued directly to the Deputy.
374 Mr. Neville asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children if she has received the report from the Mental Health Commission on the death of a person (details supplied); and if she will initiate a sworn independent public inquiry as requested by the family of this person. [25160/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have not yet received the report referred to by the Deputy. I will await the findings of the Mental Health Commission before making any further decisions in the matter.
