I thank the Chair and thank both witnesses for attending today. A report was completed in 2015 and another report has just been completed. What powers of enforcement does HIQA have, if any, in instances where service providers do not address findings of non-compliance? I am asking this in the context of the failure on the part of Oberstown to demonstrate that single separation was being used in line with policy and that accurate records were being maintained on the use of single separation. This was highlighted in the earlier report and is highlighted again in the most recent one. What actions can HIQA take, given that it is a red-line issue in two reports?
