Ms Mary Dunnion:

We have a concern with it but we do not have a specific role to play. However, what we have done is work with the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission in the context of it developing guidelines. We are looking at our statement of purpose, where we will see that charges that will be in place will be more clear for people. There are many providers in respect of which there are no charges. For example, our inspectors were in a series of places where there was a HIQA charge on residents. There is no HIQA charge so the practice was stopped.
