Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Regulation of Nursing Homes and Development of a New Model of Care for Older People: Discussion

Ms Susan Cliffe:

The number of unexpected deaths notified to the chief inspector from March 2020 to date is 2,721. Again, these are unexpected deaths. The HPSC is the definitive data collector with regard to Covid-related deaths. Of the 2,721, 413 occurred in the public facilities and 2,308 occurred in the private facilities. This is broadly similar to the percentage breakdown for private versus public services in the sector.
