David Cullinane (Waterford, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Can I ask about powers of enforcement for individual complaints? This is something that has come to the fore during the pandemic but it was an issue pre-pandemic as well. I want brief answers if possible; I merely want to establish the facts. Does HIQA have the power to initiate an investigation into individual complaints of abuse or neglect in private nursing homes?
