I have two brief questions. The expert advisory group on nursing homes recently reported to the Department. Are any of its members being appointed to NPHET? Anecdotally I have heard, very regrettably, about a lot more suicides than I have for a considerable period of time. This is during the summer before we head into a long, dark winter. Are there any representatives of psychiatry or other mental health representatives being appointed to NPHET which is, essentially, the decision-making body for our State? Largely, elected representatives are following the health advice.
