190. To ask the Minister for Health when the Health Care Quality Indicators in the Irish Health System: Examining the Potential of Hospital Discharge Data report will be published; the reason for the delay in publishing this report in view of the fact that data from the report was put into the public domain in July 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The CMO's Office of my Department has been working on a report entitled 'Health Care Quality Indicators in the Irish Health System: Examining the Potential of Hospital Discharge Data'.

This work demonstrates the value of using the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) system to derive quality measures to support a greater knowledge and understanding of health care quality.

Following a period of consultation and further analysis, the report entitled 'Health Care Quality Indicators in the Irish Health System: Examining the Potential of Hospital Discharge Data' is currently being finalised with a view to publication in the near future.
