I would like to see more defined and absolute criteria, which are not there right now.

My next question is on a separate area. I welcome all the work the Department and HSE have done in providing personal protective equipment to staff. As I understand it, €27 million worth of PPE has been provided by the HSE, since the first delivery on 1 March, to private and other nursing homes. How much, if any, money has been paid by private nursing home owners to the State towards that €27 million? I understand the sum is twice what the executive would usually spend on this equipment for all HSE institutions and hospitals nationally.
