Mr. Quinn has said it is not within HIQA's remit to name individuals. Is that why we do not have names in the report? Members have mentioned that it is like being on the vicious roundabout. It is about ensuring patients, mothers-to-be and families have confidence in the service. I am not looking for a name, but if there is no accountability in the system, how can change be implemented to ensure there is confidence and accountability? If HIQA, as the independent regulatory body, cannot do it who can?
