I have a couple of questions on nursing homes, in particular the non-compliance with fire regulations. I have correspondence with HIQA going back to May of this year, where in response to my query it stated that fire safety concerns remain one of the highest areas of non-compliance in nursing homes. It is something that is highlighted in HIQA's inspection reports. One of the homes referenced in respect of fire safety was Aperee. As I understand it, and I am not absolutely clear, it appears the home that was mentioned is closing at the end of this month. Is that the correct position? That is what has been reported in the press. I am trying to understand what is actually going on there.
