Sinn Fein's Maria McCormack feels its not necessary following a new HIQA report on abuse allegations in the Residence Portlaoise.
A Laois Senator is pushing back against the suggestion that CCTV cameras should be installed in nursing homes.
It comes as HIQA is facing further backlash for a new published report revealing 40 allegations of abuse in The Residence Portlaoise.
Sinn Fein's Maria McCormack feels that the measure is not necessary and would go against the patient's privacy and dignity.
