Moves to install cameras in care homes

A tender published this week calls for the installation of surveillance and security systems to protect vulnerable clients, patients, service users and staff members.
The request came a week after an RTÉ Prime Time investigation produced, via hidden cameras, shocking images of alleged abuses at the Áras Attracta care home in Swinford, Co Mayo. A number of staff are still on leave while investigations are being carried out by the gardaí and the HSE.
