A Hiqa report said the use of these practices should be further reduced.
Hiqa inspected Damien House in Co Tipperary on 16 April.
Hiqa’s inspectors reviewed 26 files and found that in 19 of them allegations had not been appropriately notified to gardaí by social workers.
The findings were made as part of an unannounced inspection by HIQA in July.
Fresh Start Foster Care Service said it was ceasing operations due to “ongoing difficulties in relation to retention and recruitment of staff”.
Hiqa said that a detailed plan for ambulance services across Dublin didn’t exist.
Staff at St Raphael’s, Youghal, Co Cork, said there was a lack of staff available at that time to assist the resident out of bed.
The figures are contained in a Hiqa annual report.
Hiqa has raised concerns about hygiene standards after an unannounced inspection.
LIKE ALMOST EVERYTHING this year, Halloween in 2020 will be a bit different from usual.
Large scale fancy-dress parties shouldn’t be happening under Level 5.
One thing we can still do, however, is watch some horror films.
There’s plenty to choose from ranging between the child-friendly to the very scary ones available on streaming platforms and set to be shown on TV in the coming days.
So, this morning we’re asking you: Do you plan to watch some horror films this Halloween?
