Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2023: Health Information and Quality Authority

Mr. Finbarr Colfer:

We have seen a small number of situations where CCTV has been used in different services. We would look for a very high level of evidence that it is necessary and that other options have been looked at. At this point, we are not supporting the widespread blanket use of CCTV. There are issues about people's right to privacy and those issues need to be teased out before we would ever sanction a widespread use. However, within the Deputy's question, there is a more important point about the culture of a service.
