I have another question on staffing issues during March and April. Mr. Daly mentioned in his opening statement that there was "aggressive recruitment of nursing home staff initially by the HSE". I have heard that from different nursing homes I spoke to. Can Mr. Daly expand on that? Was the recruitment above and beyond a general advertising campaign or did the HSE directly head hunt staff from nursing homes?
