Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HIQA Report 2022: Discussion

Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

It is probably both. Mr. Egan described our experience very well.

It was probably a new approach to begin to extend the healthcare monitoring and inspection remit into the community. We did it for that very reason. It is about leveraging the capacity you have but also incentivising. People visit hospitals but they live in the community. We are trying to support responses that help people to move back into the community rather than be pushed out.
