I thank Ms Dunnion. I wish to make a final point to Mr. Quinn. I refer to the 44 risk inspections that were carried out. The figures are appalling.

These were risk inspections in nursing homes where there were outbreaks and high levels of contraction. Only five of the 44 were found to be mostly compliant; 39 were found to be not compliant with at least one in three regulations. We have seen negligence, lack of enforcement, poor structural relationship, lack of oversight and poor clinical governance. Has HIQA data on the number of unexplained deaths in those nursing homes where inspections were carried out and there was a lack of compliance in comparison with the nursing homes where there were lower levels of contraction? Regarding those 44 centres where inspections were carried out, especially those 39 which failed to abide by at least one in three of the regulations and in some cases more, were there more deaths or unexplained deaths in those nursing homes?
