Ms Laura Casey:

I can only speak to our engagement on the legislation. We have had a number of engagements with the representative bodies and have had good engagement with them. We hope to engage further, especially around this area of the reporting mechanism and the types of data we will collect. Much of the data we hope to include on the system is readily available within nursing homes. They will have it and, therefore, in terms of a burden on them, we hope piggybacking on what is collected within the sector and the new IT system HIQA is developing will be a user-friendly process for everyone concerned. We have had good engagement with the representative bodies to date.
