Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Examination of HIQA Report on the Impact of Covid-19 on Nursing Homes in Ireland
Ms Mary Dunnion:
On the Deputy's final question, all inspectors of social services have had retraining on several occasions throughout the period, but we will certainly supply those statistics to the Deputy. As he correctly noted, I am not in a position to provide details of the qualifications at this time. There is no problem furnishing to the Deputy the regulatory activities since January 2020 that have taken place throughout the sector, including details of the 2,500 engagements with nursing homes during that time. We will forward all of that to the Deputy.
