What then? HIQA has forced the closure, but what sanctions are beyond that if there are not fines or repercussions for the providers? Can a private provider then just reopen in a different location?

Does it need the power to have sanctions around fines and forcing somebody not to be able to operate or a private provider not to be able to reopen?
