Financial Statements 2023: Health Information and Quality Authority

Mr. Finbarr Colfer:

In general, our framework allows for day-time inspections. However, where we have information of concern, we do undertake out-of-hours inspections. In 2024, I think 24% of our inspections were out of hours. It is one of the questions we are examining ourselves in relation to perhaps having a more scheduled approach to a 24-7-type of inspection. We are very conscious health services are operating on a 24-7 basis.
