Data protection breaches and unvetted staff among issues discovered by inspectors at HSE-run facilities

Residents' records were discovered in a bin in a nursing home in Tipperary and 26 staff in another centre in Wexford were not garda vetted.

Inspectors from the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) visited the HSE-run Dean Maxwell Community Unit in Roscrea, Co Tipperary, last April when 24 residents lived there.
