Mr. Jim Breslin:

It has the ability to do that. It can go in and inspect. It has set a standard that has been approved by the Minister. I refer to the national standards for safer and better healthcare. HIQA can go into a hospital and say it wants to examine it under this standard. It can examine things like infection control. It can do targeted inspections.
