'Difficult' to rescue some residents of Cork nursing home in event of fire, Hiqa states

Staff at a HSE-run nursing home would need to move between four and five beds in a specific sequence to rescue the resident in the bed closest to the flames in the event of a fire breaking out.

In a report by health watchdog HIQA, staff at St Finbarr's Hospital on Douglas Road in Cork said escape from those rooms, "although feasible, was difficult".
