Ms Carol Grogan:

When we talk about people in the community, we talk about ensuring the provider has a plan for how that is done so that the people who are going to move to community residential houses are involved in the decision-making process. That is very much part of our review of any closure of a large campus setting.

I take the point that it is not a case of one size fitting all. Similar to previous responses, what we have found through our inspection is that people who live in congregated settings have a poor quality of life. We have seen examples of where people have moved out of the congregated settings into community settings, where staff move with them and they have enjoyed a better quality of life being part of the community they are living in. We make sure that when we are looking at the closure plan for a congregated setting and the move to the community, it is within the community where the people are living. That is very much part of our focus.
