Public Accounts Committee
Health Information and Quality Authority: Financial Statement 2016
9:00 am
Ms Mary Dunnion:
The relevant legislation sets out what a designated centre is defined as and that determines the issue. If somebody is providing a service, they register with HIQA as a designated centre and we inspect the service in the context of the regulations. However, the Chairman is correct that there are models - this also arises in respect of disability- where there is a combination of people with both a disability and a mental health illness. That is a challenge.
