Care of the Elderly.
3:00 pm
Máire Hoctor (Tipperary North, Fianna Fail)
The Health Act 2007 provides for the establishment of the Health Information and Quality Authority, which will provide the standards of nursing care in public and private nursing homes. Private nursing homes are already subject to inspection. It is expected that HIQA standards will be in place next year at which point they will be rolled out.
