Ruddle report may be held to spare distressed parents’ privacy

THE report ordered by Health Minister Micheal Martin into the death of Roisín Ruddle may not be published in full because of concerns for the privacy of the tragic toddler’s distressed parents.

It is also unclear how soon any of the findings of the report will be placed in the public arena although the complete document is expected to be delivered to the minister some time today.

Mr Martin indicated last week that his preference was to have the findings made public but department officials have stressed information could only be released with the consent of Roisín’s family.
