HIQA Report 2022: Discussion

As Mr. Egan has said, HIQA is tasked with governance and management arrangements in terms of its inspections. Could Mr. Egan outline for me, or characterise for me somehow, what he means by specific issues? That would imply that where issues are highlighted or raised already, HIQA undertakes a review of procurement or quality assurance. I have been through this in a previous life with other sectors. One is literally sitting down with files, seeing if they are they up to date, checking whether people have signed them, double checking that a person actually did sign, and then looking at the supply room. Am I to take it from the answer that unless specific issues are highlighted to HIQA, it is not doing those things?
