Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Congregated Settings: Nursing Homes (Resumed)

Ms Mary Dunnion:

The staffing levels depend on the registered provider. We identify a significant shortage of staff if we see it, but it is totally dependent on the provider. Statutory nursing homes and private nursing homes will decide their own staffing levels, and I believe the regulations are poor in that context.
