Hiqa is set to face questioning from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on failures of oversight in nursing homes.
The HSE and senior health officials have also been called before the committee as a matter of urgency in an effort to uncover how the failures observed in a recent RTÉ exposé were allowed to persist and whether warning signs were ignored, overlooked or inadequately responded to.
