Independent body should inspect crèches, says children’s charity
The charity’s director of advocacy, Norah Gibbons, said the Health Services Executive was overstretched and needed more powers to tackle the kind of problems facing children and their parents as revealed in yesterday’s Irish Examiner.
She said: “Maybe a valid question to ask is if the HSE is the best place for inspections or should it be left to an independent and answerable body that could carry out standardised inspections across the country.”
