Inspector Identification Update
It has come to our attention that an attempt was made by an individual to impersonate a Health Information and Quality Authority Inspector. This is a matter of the utmost importance and one we take extremely seriously.
If someone claims to be an inspector for the Health Information and Quality Authority you should ask them to show you their identification before allowing them access.
If you have any concerns or questions about this please contact us immediately on 021 2409660 or email inspections@hiqa.ie.
