Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion
David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I want to come back to enforcement. HIQA has the powers of investigation in not only private nursing homes, but all nursing homes. In terms of the private sector, one of the criticisms that has been levelled at the HSE was that the HSE, as a purchaser of services, did not have sufficient knowledge of the private sector. I am looking for Mr. Quinn's view on this as the regulator. Would that be a concern that HIQA would have had?
