I thank Dr. O'Brien for her response. I also thank Mr. Fitzgerald. It is crucial we monitor the progress of these residents, particularly in this period of transition, which will have an impact on their well-being if their mental health is not managed in a very strong way. It has already had a significant impact on their families and loved ones in giving rise to high levels of worry, concern and anxiety, which could have been avoided. We need to support our guests in developing and making sure the required supports and wraparound supports are in place for these people. We also need to ensure the accommodation to which they will be moved will be suitable for their needs. I am sure my colleagues will follow up with our guests on that. We would like to see follow-up reports on that.
