Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Final Report of Nursing Homes Expert Panel (Resumed)

Mr. Niall Redmond:

That is correct. The bilateral group with HIQA and the Department is a separate group that is looking at some of the recommendations made by the expert panel on the regulatory framework. We will be working with HIQA over the next number of weeks and months to examine that framework and look at what we can do in the short and longer term around the regulations. I believe the Minister wrote to HIQA in the past week or ten days regarding the establishment of that group and we are hoping to have our first meeting next week.
