My understanding is HIQA will make its own submission. I imagine it will raise some of these issues in its submission. The point I am making is that it is good that we are having this engagement today. The purpose of this process is to improve the Bill. I imagine we are all trying to arrive at the same place. This is an area that we need to get right. While compliance notices can be an effective tool, a more graduated approach would be better. Let us see what HIQA recommends.

How will the chief inspector become aware of infringements?
