Recommendation 5 of our report from last year was that HIQA should be appointed to do these inspections. That was not referenced in any of the opening statements. Given that the tendering process on this has not worked to date and given that there have not been inspections for the past two years, would it not be a good idea to appoint HIQA, which has the experience and expertise in this area, to do these inspections?
