Dr. Rosalyn Tamming:

Up to 2019, the HSE published annually where people went. Let us say 200 people were deemed to have been decongregated or left. A portion of them died, a very small portion went to nursing homes, perhaps for terminal-type care and the majority went to homes in the community of four people or fewer. I would very much dispute the claim that people were sent back home to their families. That has not, in our experience, been something that has occurred; not for people who lived long-term in a residential setting. I have never heard that and I was a member of the HSE's time to move on working group. The group stopped meeting for a while but is starting back up again and will conduct a census.
