PQ 2713
2713. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Health to detail the audit, inspection, or compliance mechanisms currently in place to assess adherence to environmental, hygiene, ventilation, and patient-safety standards in oncology treatment facilities; to specify whether such audits are conducted on a routine, risk-based, or ad hoc basis; to confirm whether the findings of such audits are reported to her Department and whether any central record of compliance, non-compliance, or remedial actions is maintained; if not, whether she accepts that the absence of a centralised audit and compliance record represents a weakness in governance and oversight; and to outline the enforcement mechanisms available where deficiencies are identified, including escalation procedures and timelines for corrective action.
