We will pass on that information afterwards.
On the appeals made by Nursing Homes Ireland on PPE, testing and guidance, what did the HSE do about all of those emails being sent to the HSE, which it was copied into time and again? Did the HSE take any action on the nursing home sector? Specifically, given the number of deaths and the great trauma and heartbreak that has occurred within those settings, does it believe now, with the benefit of hindsight, that any of those deaths could have been prevented? If so, what type of actions could have been taken, which were possible and should have been taken in the early months of February and March?
