Report shows culture of kindness and respect at Gorey District Hospital
The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) has published eight inspection reports on compliance with the National Standards for Safer Better Healthcare in healthcare services. Inspections were carried out in eight public healthcare services across the country between July and October 2024 including the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Dublin, Naas General Hospital, Peamount Healthcare, Dublin, Bantry General Hospital, Cork, St James's Hospital, Dublin, Regional Hospital Mullingar and Lisdarn Transitional Care Centre, Cavan. During the inspection at Gorey District Hospital on August 7 and 8, 2024, HIQA found good levels of compliance, which was found to be compliant or substantially compliant with 10 national standards and partially compliant with one national standard assessed. While governance and oversight arrangements in the service required improvement, the report outlined that the arrangements in place were supporting and promoting the delivery of high-quality, safe and reliable healthcare services. Patients who spoke with inspectors were positive about their stay in the hospital and a culture of kindness, consideration and respect was actively promoted in the hospital. As of 26 September 2024, under Section 8 of the Health Act 2007 (as amended), HIQA is responsible for monitoring compliance with national standards in publicly-funded healthcare services and private hospitals. Using these powers, HIQA may make recommendations for improvement of care, but under current legislation HIQA cannot enforce their implementation.
