I did not hear the statement from HIQA but I read it earlier this morning. One of the issues raised was that under the proposed Bill, HIQA will not have any enforcement powers, which would make Ireland an outlier. I would appreciate comment on that from all of the parties involved. If it has already been discussed I am happy to go back and look through the transcripts.
