My final question is to the representative from HIQA. In regard to the deaths that took place in nursing homes, what is the breakdown in respect of the private nursing homes and those operated by the HSE? Is a breakdown of deaths in those settings available? There was an issue around staffing levels in private nursing homes in particular, in respect of which I have heard some horror stories that I do not have time to go into now. Is there a breakdown available of the deaths that occurred in private nursing homes and public nursing homes?
