Answer
THE COPNI report entitled ‘Home Truths: A Report on the Commissioner’s Investigation into Dunmurry Manor Care Home’ listed 59 recommendations.
(i) Seven of these recommendations have been implemented and no further action is required by the HSC.
(ii) Four of the recommendations are specifically addressed to Runwood Homes.
(iii) The remaining recommendations were either accepted by the Department in the absence of Ministers and are in the process of being implemented or required either legislation or policy changes and therefore could not be agreed in the absence of Ministers. These are currently being considered.
