Savita Halappanavar report
Joan Collins asks why the report on Savita Halappanavar’s death has not been received; the Minister says no final report is available and the family will receive it first.
Last week, I asked the Taoiseach if the Minister for Health had received the report on the death of Ms Savita Halappanavar and it was indicated that he had not. Why is that so? The draft report was initially leaked-----

------and we were told we would have it in two weeks. Why have we not received it?

We do not deal with "why" on the Order of Business. Is there any information on the publication of the report?

My understanding is that the Minister concerned does not yet have the report. When he does, he will give a copy to the family first before bringing it to the Cabinet. He does not have a finalised copy of the report.
