It also needs more accountability. I regularly read HIQA reports and understand how busy staff have to be just to do the organisation's statutory duty of care. I am sure inspectors are worn out with the travel required to do their jobs to the best of their ability. However, a lacuna remains, as do abuses that needed to be rooted out. I apologise for rushing but I have to ask the Taoiseach a question about all of these matters in a moment. The point is that, for example, each of the homes operated by Aperee Living has one director. Would that be correct?
