Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

I will bring Ms Grogan in on some of this. The chief inspector has specific powers under the Health Act 2007, including powers of enforcement and powers to restrict the conditions of nursing homes and to cancel registration, so she has significant powers. Many of the lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic will be in the space around recognising that it was necessary to protect life during the early days of the pandemic but the effect of that was that we limited the experience of living for residents in nursing homes. That is already a focus of Ms Grogan's inspection. It was necessary to restrict a lot of the social model that nursing homes operate within - because they are homes - as regards people being able to come in but also people being able to experience normal living. We have tried to reflect that in our implementation. There are other specific recommendations from the nursing home expert panel that we are working to implement. I will ask Ms Grogan to comment on some of the lessons and approach.
