I am aware of how difficult a time it has been for those who have lost a loved one during the pandemic, and was thankful for the opportunity to meet some of families who had a family member who passed away in Dealgan House during this very challenging period.
As you may be aware, HIQA conducted an inspection of the nursing home in question. The main objectives of this inspection are to determine the standards of care and support being provided to residents and to assess the registered provider’s statutory compliance with the regulations, as well as the governance, management and risk systems in place. The inspection report has been published on the HIQA website.
Minister Donnelly and I have committed to reverting to the families and continue to consider the concerns raised.
