Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2023: Health Information and Quality Authority

2:00 am

Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

We do. There has been a change in the patient safety Act, which now allows HIQA to seek information. The definition of it is quite defined, but we are currently engaging with the Department to see whether we can leverage that further in order that we can have surveillance data. That would go some way towards addressing some of the concerns about undercover because the information that informs behaviour and culture would be available.
