Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:

The temporary scheme was set up with two elements. One is with regard to supporting these nursing homes in their preparedness planning and having their contingency plans in place. The other element is to support additional costs these nursing homes may incur if they have an outbreak or cluster within them. My colleague, Mr. Redmond, will give detail on this, including the extent of the funding that has been given through the temporary scheme. It has been very much welcomed by the private nursing home sector and is very much seen to support the additional costs they have incurred in the management of Covid-19.
