Amharc ar fhreagra1782. Deputy Eugene Murphy asked the Minister for Health if the audiologist at the centre of the review of paediatric audiology services in more than 900 cases in counties Mayo and Roscommon from 2011 to 2015 is employed as an audiologist in a different jurisdiction on the island of Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 1781 and 1782 together.
Following a routine review of audiology services in Mayo-Roscommon in 2015 a look-back of paediatric services provided between 2011 and 2015 was initiated. The services had been provided by an external contracted supplier. The contracted service was immediately suspended. The HSE understand that the clinician is currently working in Northern Ireland.
