Just under half of the 30 designated centres for people with disabilities inspected by Hiqa recently were found to be non-compliant, according to a new report.
The inspections found 14 centres to be non-compliant, with one centre in Tipperary having a “high level” of non-compliance while a centre in Cork City operated by the Cope Foundation was praised, with residents experiencing “a good quality of life”.
