The SDLP’s Colin McGrath says what happened at Muckamore was a “shocking dereliction of duty”.
“While work to hold individuals accountable is ongoing, it has always been clear that patients were also failed by the wider system,” he adds.
“Concerns were raised, warning signs were present and opportunities to intervene existed, yet action was not taken. That raises serious questions about leadership, oversight and safeguarding across our health service.”
People Before Profit assembly member Gerry Carroll says the report can not be allowed to gather dust.
“This can never be allowed to happen again.
“The health minister must act immediately, and those responsible in positions of power and authority must be held fully to account.”
