Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Examination of HIQA Report on the Impact of Covid-19 on Nursing Homes in Ireland
Ms Mary Dunnion:
I will take the second point. Deputy Smith is correct that 80% of nursing homes are privately provided. We welcome the proposal for an examination of the policy around residential services in line with Sláintecare. In regard to the inspections since 13 March, I will ask my colleague, Ms Cliffe, to respond.
