Public Accounts Committee
Health Information and Quality Authority: Financial Statement 2016
9:00 am
Ms Mary Dunnion:
There is a schedule of inspections. Some of it is determined by the fact that a centre has to renew its registration every three years, so that will determine when inspections are conducted. What is really important is that the function of regulation and what determines it is the quality and safety of services. No schedule is rigid in application because what determines it is whether there is a risk to vulnerable people in a particular centre.
