I want to go back on the issue of deaths in nursing homes. Life expectancy in this country has increased by seven years since 2000.
In other words, people are living seven years longer now compared with the year 2000. Nursing homes have made a contribution to that increase in life expectancy. On average, how many deaths are there in all the nursing homes across the country per month? Have we a figure for that?
