Public Accounts Committee

Health Information and Quality Authority: Financial Statement 2016

9:00 am

Mr. Phelim Quinn:

I will introduce this and pass it on to my colleague. In recent years we have been very clear about how we receive information that indicates where risk exists within our health and social care services. As a result, we initiated a regulatory risk register process in 2015. This is an escalation process whereby when our inspectors receive information or observe information at the point of inspection, they can return and indicate the level of risk to their line managers. If the risk is deemed to be of a significant nature, it is then brought up to the higher reaches of the organisation to enable us to consider the appropriate actions to be taken.
