2710. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Health whether her Department maintains a national policy or framework governing the inspection, reporting, and oversight of environmental, hygiene, ventilation, and patient-safety conditions in oncology treatment facilities within the public health system; if so, the statutory or administrative basis for such a framework, the bodies responsible for carrying out inspections, the frequency of inspections, and the reporting arrangements to her Department; if not, whether she accepts that the absence of a standardised national inspection and reporting framework in respect of such facilities represents a gap in governance and oversight; to confirm whether her Department receives, reviews, or retains records of inspection findings, compliance reports, or risk assessments relating to oncology treatment environments; and to outline the steps she will take to introduce a formalised national oversight framework, including inspection protocols, reporting requirements, and audit mechanisms, where such arrangements are not currently in place.
