I have said on the record of the Dáil that you can have all the regulations in the world but if people are willing to fill out forms saying actions have been completed when they know that is not the case or to do things that any decent human would know do not constitute good care, that poses a regulatory challenge. RTÉ was able to discover these things because of the undercover nature of its investigation. Is HIQA allowed carry out undercover investigations? Should it be allowed to do so?
