Marymount breaches three of 12 areas in Hiqa report but other aspects of care commended

Inspectors from health watchdog Hiqa have recommended some improvements at the Marymount University Hospital and Hospice in Cork, while commending other aspects of care there.

It was the ninth time the facility was inspected by the Health Information and Quality Authority and the report found it was majorly non-compliant under three of the 12 headings under review.

However, inspectors also stressed the high standard of care on offer at Marymount, citing areas such as Suitable Person in Charge, where Marymount was fully compliant with regulations.
