Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)
Ms Mary Dunnion:
The Deputy asked about HIQA inspections, and he is quite correct.
We have had a combination of site and desktop inspections. Going forward, they will be risk-based inspections where there is a risk to quality or safety. That is under public health advice.
We will be very pleased to work with the expert review panel and submit any information that we have and that it requires. I think the other questions are particular to the HSE.
