I welcome our witnesses. I acknowledge the excellent work that has been done by the HSE and its staff, both administratively and medically. They have given huge support to people. The public perception of the HSE has changed significantly as a result of the way in which it has responded to the crisis. Its interventions in places such as Dealgan House nursing home in Dundalk have been hugely important. In terms of the HSE's plan for autumn and an unfortunate but probable return of Covid-19, what relationships has the HSE built with the private nursing homes?
