Does Mr. Daly believe that NPHET realised the gravity and urgency of the situation facing nursing homes in the early stages? I know there were many calls, including from my colleague, Deputy Donnelly, for nursing homes to be represented on the NPHET taskforce.

Does Mr. Daly believe it realised the urgency at the initial stage because we had all seen the pictures from Italy and Spain where older people were left in nursing homes without care?
