Muckamore Abbey Inquiry · Muckamore Abbey Hospital Inquiry Report · Issued 18 June 2026 · Addressed to: Department of Health NI
Source — verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation
The dashboard should include the number of allegations reported, together with the screening decision (referral to the Adult Safeguarding Gateway, referral to the joint protocol or no further action). Particular scrutiny should be given to allegations of abuse by staff that are screened out due to lack of supporting evidence. The DoH Northern Ireland should develop such a dashboard to be used across the health and social care sector within six months.

How this page is built
Source and Response are verbatim from primary documents. The Evidence trail records published activity since — written statements, consultation outcomes, inspection findings, parliamentary references. The Index does not paraphrase or characterise intent; it tracks what has been published. Where the evidence is the absence of action (a missed deadline, a slipped timetable), that absence is documented from primary sources rather than inferred.
This recommendation's data is verified periodically against primary sources. The Index is monitored for staleness weekly.
