I thank Dr. MacLellan. In her opinion, was our over-reliance on the private service a factor in the disproportionate number of people who died in this State in nursing homes? I think a public inquiry-type investigation is needed on this issue, during which might come out in the wash the reason for the catastrophic response in terms of nursing home deaths. What can be learned from what happened last year to ensure it never happens again?
