HIQA aims to safeguard people and improve the safety and quality of health and social care services across its full range of functions. HIQA’s mandate to date extends across a specified range of public, private and voluntary sector services. Reporting to the Minister for Health and engaging with the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs, HIQA has statutory responsibility for:

· Setting Standards for Health and Social Services — Developing person centred standards, based on evidence and best international practice, for health and social care services in Ireland.

· Regulation — Registering and inspecting designated centres.

· Monitoring Children’s Services — Monitoring and inspecting children’s social services.

· Monitoring Healthcare Safety and Quality — Monitoring the safety and quality of health services and investigating as necessary serious concerns about the health and welfare of people who use these services.

· Health Technology Assessment — Providing advice that enables the best outcome for people who use our health service and the best use of resources by evaluating the clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of drugs, equipment, diagnostic techniques and health promotion and protection activities.

· Health Information — Advising on the efficient and secure collection and sharing of health information, setting standards, evaluating information resources and publishing information about the delivery and performance of Ireland’s health and social care services.

Background to the Inspection

In 2017, HIQA commenced a revised monitoring programme against the National Standards. The aim of this revised monitoring programme is to assess aspects of the governance, management and implementation of designated programmes to prevent and control healthcare-associated infections in hospitals using unannounced visits. A visit was made to CWIUH in 2017. The Coombe Women & Infants University Hospital, Dublin (CWIUH) is an established hospital in the south inner city providing a range of maternity, gynaecology, neonatal, and reproductive health services to over 9500 patients a year, with approximately 9000 infant deliveries in 2010. It has approximately 950 staff including medical, midwifery, nursing, allied services and support staff. It is also a teaching hospital for medical and midwifery students. CWIUH Challenges / Scale of the Problem Prior to 2008 a significant number of deaths related to hospital acquired infections occurred annually, evenly affecting staff and patients. Between 70 to 90 were reported annually between 2004 and 2014

· The causes were many and different solutions had to be identified and managed for each. These had to be addressed in consultation with appropriate staff, managers, architects and builders etc.

· There was a lack of appreciation of the scale of the problem, and how easy it would be to stop or reduce the number of incidents.

· There was no one-stop source of information on how to prevent them.
