I was impressed with the national nursing home experience survey. As much as 90% of residents and 87% of friends stated they had a good or very good experience, which is really positive. It is probably not the result we expected because we, particularly as public representatives, hear the negatives rather than the positives.

I will now discuss the negatives. One of HIQA's reports show that fewer than half of the 48 nursing homes inspected by the authority between February 2022 and June of this year were fully or substantially compliant. How many nursing homes were fully compliant? Ms Grogan can come back to me with the information.
