Mr. Sean Egan:

We are a member and board member of a group called Supervision and Regulation Innovation Network for Care, SINC, which is a group of European regulators in the healthcare and social care systems regulation space. It is made up of similar organisations to ours in countries such as the Nordic countries, the UK, the Netherlands and Portugal.

We find that engagement with them allows us to identify common issues they may be grappling with and which we equally may be working to address. There is a lot of learning. Deputy Durkan mentioned the future of regulation and data-driven regulation. We have engaged as an equal partner with our colleagues internationally in that regard. We are all learning together and we are all at a similar stage in the development of that area. There is an awful lot to learn from our colleagues. Certainly we bring that back and try to implement it for the benefit of the general public. Ms Grogan is involved with a social care network as well.
