I would like to pick up on HSE clinical oversight. There is obvious concern about the lack of HSE clinical oversight of nursing homes. HIQA has been the regulator for more than a decade now. After many visits to and engagements with nursing homes, did it at any point write to the Department of Health or the HSE prior to spring 2020 regarding that oversight model? If so, when was that and what were the details of that correspondence?
