Mr. Mark Toland:

Tusla has its own equivalent of us. The organisation is called the Health Information and Quality Authority, HIQA, and it carries out examinations. We were quite keen at one point that maybe we could conduct joint inspections. That is something that we would like to consider in the future. We want to go back now and conduct more inspections and not compile big reports. We want to go back and check to make sure that our recommendations have been implemented. We think that we could work with other organisations like HIQA and examine the whole process. We have no remit to examine Tusla's case files and processes but HIQA could do so. We think, in the future, that we should have a multi-agency approach to check and ensure that things are happening on the ground floor.
