The Health Information and Quality Authority issued their National Hygiene Services Quality Review for 2008. This is the second such review of hospital standards in Ireland and this year the HIQA reports that around two thirds of all hospitals reviewed scored well, however “there was wide variation between hospitals.”

8 of the hospitals received a worse hygiene rating than last year but there was a slight overall increase in standards.
