Mr. Paul Reid:

I am clearly saying to the Deputy that at that stage of it the world's focus and Ireland's focus were on how this could impact on the acute settings. It was a general discussion and was about things we might need to be thinking of in preparation. That was the extent of it. Then we discussed a wide range of matters in general about nursing homes and how they interface with the health service on all of these supports.

I might just ask Ms O'Connor to make some general comments.
