Ms Fiona Larthwell:

All of the older persons unit was occupied during Covid with Covid-related matters. There were a lot of important home care matters we had to look at during Covid. There was a point where people were not getting a service at all, but the service providers still needed to be paid. We needed to work on the service providers' PPE. There were the care workers' vaccinations and an awful lot going on for approximately two years. While some work was ongoing it is true to say resources were diverted during that time.
