Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 December 2022
690. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Health the number of nursing homes that took a case against HIQA to prevent publication of its report since March 2020; and if he will provide the details including the name and county of the homes. [60917/22]
View answerProceedings were concluded between HIQA and two nursing home providers during the period set out by the Deputy. One was an application seeking a judicial review of the regulatory judgements of the Chief Inspector contained in a report, the second was an application seeking leave to challenge certain decisions of the Chief Inspector contained in an inspection report. A stay on the publication of the relevant reports was granted, pending determination of the proceedings. Both reports are now published.
There is one further proceeding which is still ongoing, and as such it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the matter.
