Health Information and Quality Authority: Financial Statement 2016

Mr. Phelim Quinn:
That issue has arisen through communications and conversations we have had with colleagues in the Department of Health from a policy direction perspective. As an organisation that has experience of regulating within health and social care services, we would see home care as a particular area of vulnerability. Where people are in receipt of care within their own homes, we believe there is a requirement for appropriate regulation of the agencies that supply people into those homes. That would be the model used across a range of other European countries as well.
