Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Closure of Owenacurra Centre: Engagement with HSE
Mr. Mark Kane:
I appreciate time is short and there are a lot of questions. It is not a statutory requirement but it is the requirement upon which we are assessed. If we fall short of that standard in an assessment we run a very significant risk that we will not be allowed to continue. By default it becomes the standard to which we will design and build all our buildings. It is the recognised, accepted standard.
