Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

HIQA Report 2022: Discussion

Mr. Sean Egan:

If we look at different organisations, they all have their strengths. From our most recent engagement, I would say that we are possibly most similar to our Dutch colleagues, Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd, IGZ. There is a lot to be learned from the Nordic countries as well. On the data side, the Care Quality Commission in the UK is probably leading the way. It is a network that we are keen to leverage more in terms of its use of technology and data. There is a lot that we contribute to and that we are able to put out there as good practice. Certainly our colleagues are happy to hear from our experiences as well. I would like to think that we put a forward a good showing for ourselves. Equally, there is a lot to learn from other colleagues.
