<p>
	The HSE says it is hopeful a resolution can be found concerning the &Aacute;ras Attracta care home in Swinford, Co. Mayo, before the residents are affected.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	It comes after HIQA issued a proposal to cancel registration for part of the facility, which caters for people with challenging behaviour.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Hiqa conducted a two-day unannounced inspection of all three centres at &Aacute;ras Attracta on July 12 and 13 after receiving information that it had to act upon.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	On foot of the inspection, it has issued a notice of proposal to cancel the registration of Centre No 2 &mdash; which consists of five bungalows and houses 27 residents.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	The HSE says moves are being made to rectify the situation, with extra staff recruited in the past fortnight and a further 25 posts approved, to allow it to commission two new vacant bungalows.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	Bernard Gloster, interim chief officer for the HSE West Region, says they are hopeful that residents will not be affected.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	He said: &quot;We&#39;re working from the perspective that we believe that with reasonable discussion with the regulator over the coming weeks, on the basis of the draft plans we&#39;ve already submitted to them, we would hope that we could arrive at a resolution to this.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	&quot;(We also hope to) arrive at a space where the regulator is satisfied in a more sustained way rather than the sporadic piece we saw in April report versus this notice now.&quot;</p>
