The interview related to the Scottish Rugby Union Siobhan Cattigan death.
Q: How might you at any point be agreeable on the off chance that you don't have any idea what the realities are?
JJ: I said prior our clinical staff have been at the very front of mind wellbeing throughout the long term. Our staff are held to that level and I am agreeable they have executed those as well as could be expected.
Q: So the charges in the Sunday Times are off-base?
JJ: There are pieces of it we don't perceive. I'm not going into the singular pieces until we have the real factors.
Q: Have lawful papers been served in the Cattigan case?
MD: We've been sent approaching notification of an activity against us, which is typical in this sort of region. It claims specific things around Siobhan's consideration. With the two people in the Times yesterday (previous Glasgow player John Shaw and previous Scotland worldwide Kieran Low declared their goal to make a lawful move against the SRU) we don't know for undetected cerebrum wounds experienced in games.
Q: In the more extensive picture, is there a trepidation that (with this likely suit around mind injury) rugby will be enacted out of presence monetarily etc.?

MD: That's not really for me to say and that is the reason we are hanging tight for clinical assessment. There is a misfortune when you see any person going through what's been claimed in the more extensive case, the Siobhan Cattigan case and with Kieran and John too. What we're attempting to do isn't pre-judge anything, check current realities out. Whether that is harming or pernicious to rugby in the more drawn out term, I don't have any idea and can't as yet say. All we can manage to say is that we need to manage what we know and what we knew at that point.
The lawful ramifications of this makes it undeniably challenging. We don't have the foggiest idea what we are confronting yet as far as class activity or individual activity and we are taking guidance from our legal counselors, who encourage us to move toward this with a specific goal in mind, since we are attempting to safeguard individuals engaged with this as defendants and our own kin where we have an obligation of care to too. Then we must gander at the supposed episodes, what befell these individuals when they were under the watchful eye of Scottish Rugby. I'd very much want to have the option to make sense of for you how complex this is and I'm making an effort not to put any haze out there, yet if you were to imagine being in our situation, taking a gander at the delicacy that encompasses this, and what we feel as of now for the Cattigan family and anybody who has been engaged with this, it's not something we will mess with. We're taking as much time as is needed and doing this in the most potential exhaustive manner so we can give the most ridiculously complete picture.
Scottish Rugby Union Siobhan Cattigan death questions
Q: The claim from the Cattigans, the impression of an absence of fundamental goodness from the SRU around this. Why would that be?
MD: That's important for the issue we have - we don't perceive portions of that [Sunday Times article]. We disagree and we don't perceive. We won't remark on these things piecemeal, we will remark comprehensively on it.
Q: Bryan Easson (Scotland ladies' group mentor) has rejected that he did anything wrong in his obligation of care to Siobhan. Do you believe in him?
MD: I trust Bryan as a mentor. To the extent that claims are made against Bryan, we will investigate those and lay out realities as time goes past. Bryan is driving the group to the World Cup finals and has two global matches to focus on sooner rather than later.

Q: There are a huge amount of charges about the consideration - or absence of care - Siobhan might have gotten. The family have said they feel let down and that, had their girl been alluded to a nervous system specialist, she'd be alive today. What's your reaction to that? They additionally express that there has been a shortfall of sympathy from the SRU.
JJ: We won't return piecemeal to say this is correct and that was off-base. Ideally, in time, the full story will emerge.
MD: We have a lamenting family, completely damaged by what has occurred. There have been charges made about the way of behaving of the association and people. We answered quickly to the Cattigan family with our sympathies and offered them the chance to reach us. That wasn't taken up.
Q: Why not get the telephone and converse with them after they talked half a month back?
JJ: That help was proposed to them at that point, when Siobhan passed on, and they didn't take that up. We were managing through the uncle. From that point forward, they have composed the article and have requested their security to be safeguarded.
