I wish to refer to the issue of moving people from hospital into long-term care settings. During the recession there was a shortage of long-term care beds. The new HIQA standards dictate that ward sizes must be limited. If HIQA carries out an inspection and a facility is found to be in breach of the standards, what happens if that facility seeks funding from the HSE in order to carry out works to make it compliant?
