Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 16 May 2012
64 Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Health the reason there is no mechanism to establish a clinical review of the level of care in hospitals; and the steps he will take to ensure accountability in that regard. [24142/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Health one of my primary objectives is to embed patient safety and quality standards into the health services.
In this regard the HSE National Service Plan 2012 commits to establishing a culture of continuous quality improvement through effective governance structures, clinical effectiveness, outcome measurements, and evaluation at the centre of its approach to improving services.
I have arranged for the question to be forwarded to the HSE who will provide a more detailed response directly to the Deputy.
