HIQA Report 2022: Discussion
Seán Kyne (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
We all remember the "Prime Time" exposé of a HSE facility in County Mayo in 2014. Gardaí cannot be everywhere and HIQA cannot be everywhere.
How does HIQA operate in terms of unannounced inspections? In this case there was undercover footage. The saying is that a picture paints a thousand words. Everyone was able to see what was going on. I believe there was an unannounced inspection prior to that. How does HIQA operate with unannounced inspections versus announced inspections?
