Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Examination of HIQA Report on the Impact of Covid-19 on Nursing Homes in Ireland
Mr. Phelim Quinn:
In line with the processes that have been outlined by both Ms Mary Dunnion and Ms Susan Cliffe, HIQA takes account of all information, whether it is statutory or unsolicited information that we receive. It forms a very clear context for our inspection and lines of inquiry in a particular nursing home. It also informs the way in which we apply a regulatory action. I wanted to ensure that is clear.
