Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:

I refer to Head 20 on person-centred care. We expect this Head to be aligned with the standards of person-centred care as outlined within HIQA's national standards on the delivery of services. I cannot fully answer Deputy Louise O'Reilly's question but I expect that HIQA would have the powers to look at all issues that would impact on person-centred care and support as is outlined within the standards here which are quite extensive on that.
