The second issue I want to raise was discussed earlier and relates to staff working in more than one nursing home. Was any guidance given to nursing homes or HSE facilities about the challenges that there would be in employing staff coming from another medical facility?

Some HSE facilities might have had difficulties in trying to get staff and that may have resulted in staff going from one medical facility to another. Were guidelines issued to nursing homes or HSE facilities? I also refer to mental health facilities because there were several adverse outcomes in those settings as well. Was any information sent out to such facilities at any stage warning of the dangers of taking in staff who were moving from one facility to another?
