I want to raise the issue of nursing home inspections and the challenges being faced in this regard. There is a huge variation regarding funding for public nursing homes and private nursing homes. Do the witnesses see this in their visits to private nursing homes? Obviously, there are far more challenges in private nursing homes because of the fact that they are finding it more difficult to get and retain staff. Is this coming up as an issue in HIQA's dealings with the private nursing homes when it does inspections?
