I asked the same question today of the witness from Nursing Homes Ireland. I asked if there was testing in place when patients were moved from a nursing home or hospital to another nursing home. I am not singling out any sector. It is important when people are moving from one care provision facility to another, regardless of what it is, that Covid testing would be done.

With the potential for a further wave, what planning is under way to ensure people resident in direct provision centres will be permitted to follow clear social distancing guidelines?
