Ms Laura Casey:

It is a good point. We are dealing with 570-odd separate entities, many of which are in solo ownership, so there are a lot of different actors. What we are hoping to do, and the intention of the reporting mechanism, is to piggyback on systems that are already there. HIQA collects data across a number of areas and, in particular, at the minute it has a portal to collect data on an ongoing and regular basis on statutory notifications, incidents and things like that. I mentioned earlier there is a new IT system in development within HIQA for designated centres. We are hoping that new technology will be very user-friendly both for collating the data on the HIQA end but also for providers inputting the data, so that this will provide an efficient way of collecting data across the system. The Deputy's point is well made.
