Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HIQA Report 2022: Discussion

Mr. Sean Egan:

With procurement, our standard approach to inspection takes a particular focus on medicines and infection prevention and control. We are aware that those two areas are known internationally to be key areas of patient safety concern. The World Health Organization has identified medicines and infection control as a number of their patient safety goals. That is integrated into our assessment approach when we conduct an inspection.
