Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

General Scheme of the Health (Amendment) Bill 2022: Department of Health

Ms Laura Casey:

I might ask my colleague, Ms Larthwell, to respond in a minute. On investigations, the Minister is hoping to bring an amendment to the Patient Safety (Notifiable Patient Safety Incidents) Bill later this month to give the chief inspector some discretionary powers as regards serious incidents within nursing homes. That will be a new power that fits in with this in some ways. It is in separate legislation but it is important to mention.
