The exchange, in full

Reply: I wish to inform the House that, following the tabling of the Fact-Finding Committee Report and the subsequent Reports of Enquiries conducted by the Medical Negligence Standing Committee regarding the death of dialysis patients at New Souillac Hospital during the COVID-19 Pandemic, my Ministry has taken appropriate decisive action regarding the matter at hand. After tabling the report of the Fact-Finding Committee in Parliament, my Ministry has referred the case to the Office of the Commissioner of Police to initiate a comprehensive and in-depth Police Enquiry, so that responsibilities could be situated. Once the report of the Enquiry is received, action will be initiated to deal with the culprits. This action reflects our commitment to upholding the highest standards of accountability and transparency, particularly when it comes to issues as serious as medical negligence. The police investigation will ensure that all relevant facts are thoroughly examined, and that those responsible are held to account in accordance with the law. The safety and well-being of our citizens, particularly in healthcare settings, remain a top priority for this government. My Ministry will continue to act swiftly and judiciously to address any concerns and to safeguard the trust of the public in our health institutions.
