The regulator told Mr O’Dowd in a letter sent on Wednesday that it had asked the nursing home in July to cease admissions of residents until it was appropriately managed and staffed.The HSE took over the clinical operation and governance of the nursing home on November 4th in response to the outbreak.
Hiqa told Mr O’Dowd that the HSE’s departure was a source of major concern and that after the November 16th and 17th inspections it applied to Listowel District Court to have the nursing home’s registration cancelled, and to direct the HSE to take over the running of the home. It was “not sustainable” for the HSE to run the nursing home as it did not own the facility, the spokeswoman said.
