Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

It is a gross exaggeration.

The report of the inspection of the private TLC care centre in Maynooth was published by the Health Information and Quality Authority and identifies a litany of problems with the facility. HIQA carried out a follow-up inspection in the last week of January which showed an improvement in the level of care provided and identified some issues which are being addressed on an ongoing basis. The report is being compiled and will be published when completed. TLC Maynooth is being re-registered by HIQA and that process includes a full inspection of the centre. The Deputy should put down a question to the Minister for Health and Children regarding the report to which he referred.

We expect the health information Bill to be published in the course of this year.
