Research was recently published by the University of Edinburgh on the prevalence of Covid-19 in nursing home environments in particular. It referred to the high footfall of staff, including agency workers, cooks and maintenance engineers, going in and out of the largest homes. This is thought to be a key factor in the infection of elderly residents. I appreciate that Ms Ní Sheaghdha represents the nursing profession. Does Ms Ní Sheaghdha know if any analysis has been done to show what proportion of the people infected are agency nurses? Is that an important point to make or follow up on?
