Who we are
RQIA is the independent body responsible for monitoring and inspecting the availability and quality of health and social care services in Northern Ireland, and encouraging improvements in the quality of those services.
RQIA's main functions are:
- to inspect the quality of health and social care services provided by Health and Personal Social Services (HPSS) bodies in Northern Ireland through reviews of clinical and social care governance arrangements within these bodies; and
- to regulate (register and inspect) a wide range of health and social care services delivered by HPSS bodies and by the independent sector. The regulation of services is based on new minimum care standards to ensure that service users know what quality of services they can expect to receive, and service providers have a benchmark against which to measure their quality
