I sincerely thank members for their engagement. I thank the witnesses from HIQA for their assistance. This meeting is the beginning. We will take the clear and stark messages from HIQA that there are three principal requirements - regulation in the area, service level agreements between the care providers and a commissioning model. HIQA has clearly conveyed those messages and highlighted many other deficiencies here today. We sincerely thank HIQA for monitoring the services that are provided to the most vulnerable citizens in society. We look forward to making progress on the area of regulation and engaging with HIQA again. If members have questions they can give them to the secretariat and we will pass them on to HIQA.
