I think we ran out of time in the last lot, so that might be the reason. I join Deputy Buckley in acknowledging Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. Chambers and Dr. O'Brien for being here. I also acknowledge that this is extremely difficult for them in their role and for everyone. It is not an easy one. There is no easy answer here. I thank them for the work they are doing and for listening to us and to the people through us today.
Am I right in saying it was the practice in the past that when people got quite ill they passed away in the centre and the hospice people came to the centre and helped with that? Was it a practice that people died in the centre because it was seen as their home?
