Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
HIQA Report 2022: Discussion
Ms Angela Fitzgerald:
It is a very good question. One of the things we have to do all the time is challenge ourselves to change, adapt and learn. In that regard, there are two broad networks that we link with. I am part of a regulatory forum between Ireland and the UK. This is for health and social care regulators. That is really helpful, because we have pretty common systems and common problems to solve. It was stood up during Covid-19, but it has remained extant. Certainly, in terms of sharing learning, it is very powerful. Mr. Egan and Ms Grogan are both on an international network, where they contribute by sharing our learning and there is also a huge opportunity to learn from others about things that work and things that do not work. I will ask Mr. Egan or Ms Grogan to comment on a couple of the initiatives that have been part of that.
