Mr. Fran Thompson:

As Mr. Walsh said, there were a significant number of issues around that and how we made sure it was recorded, especially in some of the long-term care homes. There are a wide number of sites across Ireland and many of them have little or no infrastructure for us to utilise.

There were also some challenges in loading some of the data because they are held by the nursing homes and some were a bit slow in providing us with them. We have the self-registration portal now working for healthcare staff. In the next week or two, we hope to be a position where will we have the solution and system in real time, or close to being real time, and, therefore, will be able to provide those figures to people on a daily basis.
