Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

The action being taken by Emeis is an action it has agreed as an initial step. We as HIQA reserve the right to require it to take further action if required. The interpretation of the four weeks is an initial step. We have yet to take our own regulatory actions. That is an action taken for the company to assess where things have gone wrong and whether things are okay in other centres.

I am glad the Senator raised culture. It is at the heart of what we have seen and heard from Deputies and Senators today. One of the questions Deputy Clarke asked was how had RTÉ found what we had not. I would not like as a result of this that there would be a decision to use CCTV or go undercover to assure ourselves. We should never have to do that and if we are at that then the systems have failed.
