Now we know: A positive agent for change
The agency stepped into a role that had not been vigorously discharged but that has changed. Hiqa is an agent for positive change and helped improve the quality of life enjoyed by many of those under its remit.
A new Hiqa report shows that a Dublin centre for people with disabilities had one resident strapped to a chair and that a “sleep suit” was used on another resident at night. The centre, operated by Stewarts Care Ltd, failed on all nine headings of a Hiqa inspection.
