Dr. Peter Kelly:

There are already a few examples. HIQA would be the obvious port of call, as would the Mental Health Commission. I worked as a mental health nurse. Mental health services are not without their problems but I have seen the transformational effect the Mental Health Commission has had on mental health services, both in influencing culture and increasing accountability. An independent inspectorate with statutory powers is the type of model. All other things will flow from that. We talk about funding and service user representation. All the other things will flow from robust and independent inspection of services.
