Ms Laura Casey:

We do not think so for the compliance measures. HIQA has already been resourced quite significantly over the last couple of years with additional inspectors. We do not see the powers we are giving it as increasing the workload substantially per se. However, it will be the case with regard to the reporting mechanism, given the data collection and analysis. We will be working with HIQA on that. It is probably a small number but there will likely be a resource requirement from that piece of the legislation.
