Health Service Executive Service Plan 2013: Discussion with HSE
11:10 am
Mr. Tony O'Brien:
All hospitals and all services funded by the HSE are subject to HIQA inspection, but the hospital is not one of those encompassed by the Ennis-Mallow recommendations, which is what the small hospitals framework is primarily designed to address. That is not to say that all small hospitals are in that and that other hospitals are, therefore, not classified as small or important. That is the clarification as to why I did not mention Monaghan in that list.
