Mr. Cody York:

People would have a responsibility, as part of the regulations that include the statement of purpose, to ensure with any service a provider that purports to be able to deliver a service that it is actually able to deliver it. A home support provider may say it provides these services, which could include assistive technologies. HIQA would then assess whether it is delivering those services. If the provider was not, there would either be a condition on its licence to stop purporting that it delivers that or to build its service to be able to deliver what it states it can deliver.
