Select Committee on the Future of Healthcare

Health Service Reform: Health Information and Quality Authority

9:30 am

Ms Mary Dunnion:

It is a worry for us with regard to quality and the safety of people, particularly vulnerable people, that perhaps the only view providers have is the emergency department door is the only one through which they can send somebody for care. We strongly believe in considering a change in the policy direction towards regulating services as opposed to a premises.
