Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Anne O'Connor:

A review of standards that had changed identified the errors and failures. There is now a national clinical audiology lead, so the governance has changed since that took place. Let me confirm that the meeting between the different officials happened on 5 November 2018. There is a robust governance structure in place and the learning from that incident, which happened in other parts of the country as well, has been examined. We hope that, with this audiology programme, the errors of the past will never happen again. I will let the secretariat know of the gaps in between.
