Tony O'Brien made the announcement at the start of a national summit to handle the fallout from the Prime Time programme on Aras Attracta in Co Mayo – which showed residents being kicked, force-fed, slapped and verbally abused.
Mr O'Brien says he's considering appointing undercover investigators to root out and prevent any further mistreatment at HSE homes.
