I have some questions before finishing and the witnesses may revert with the replies. They concern staffing and inspections.

When a premises such as a nursing home, but particularly a section 39 care home, is inspected by HIQA and it is determined that an extra bathroom is needed, a wall needs to be moved or a hoist is required, what is the follow-up? Section 39 premises are care homes so they depend a lot on HSE funding. Particularly in my area, Carlow, when HIQA carries out an inspection and asks for work to be done, what is the follow-up from the time of the inspection? Where do the witnesses see the funding coming from for the section 39 premises? This will be a crucial issue. Could the witnesses answer those two questions? If there is no time, could they revert to me on them?
