Written answers

My Department has been informed by the Health Information and Quality Authority that it updated its Complaints Procedure on its website in June of this year in accordance with HIQA's standard practice to review all policies and procedures on a regular basis. The change made to the Complaints Procedure was to correct a reference to the role of the Office of the Ombudsman. The Authority will forward a copy of the policy as it existed before June 2012 to the Deputy separately.
