Public Accounts Committee

Health Information and Quality Authority: Financial Statement 2016

9:00 am

Ms Mary Dunnion:

I will make one answer. The life of a resident in a designated centre shrinks if that life revolves around a bed. It is very hard to undo that. It is not about multi-occupancy; it is about how one ensures that the living and the most vulnerable have - towards the end of their days - lives that are worth living, that care is person-centred and that people have their privacy and their dignity. That is what we measure.
