HIQA inspections find 'significant and urgent risks' at Cork centre for people with disabilities

A centre for people with disabilities re-admitted a resident who had been engaging in abusive and challenging behaviour against others living there and then "inaccurately" told the HSE national safeguarding team that the resident was no longer living in the facility.

The findings are contained in two reports for No 3 Fuchsia Drive, run by the Brothers of Charity Services Ireland in Innishannon in Co Cork, with the second report outlining a notice of proposal to cancel the centre’s registration.
