Mr. David Walsh:

The Deputy is correct in that. There have been 76 outbreaks in mental health facilities as well as a very significant number in older persons and disability settings. Without prejudice to the numbers that HIQA may provide afterwards, there were 90 premises on the HSE older persons side that required either full replacement or remedial works to meet the standard around the maximum of four to a room. The infection control guidance and advice that applies to every setting applied to each of those premises as well. As part of the area crisis management team process, each CHO was required to implement those measures right across those settings.
