That would be fantastic. There was a recent report around HSE staff being sent to nursing homes, including a number sent to private nursing homes, although a smaller number than the overall total. We are all aware that nursing homes are at the front line of the Covid-19 battle and are experiencing some of the greatest number of losses. That level of staff shortage seems to be due to staff contracting Covid-19 or being in self-isolation and trying to do the right thing. How are we dealing with HSE staff being seconded to nursing homes?
