Ms Mary Dunnion:

The person is deemed not fit and not compliant with the regulations. In our experience, which is based in the social services, we would take regulatory action when we saw a provider or a person not being fit, up to cancellation of the registration of a designated centre. We have learned, and I believe it will be the same in hospitals, that what determines the sustainability of the service and keeps it going well are the governance, leadership and management arrangements that are in place. They come through the person in charge.
