Ms Susan Cliffe:

No. Each nursing home is inspected according to the requirement to inspect, at a minimum, once a year, do an unannounced inspection once every three years and inspections in response to risk. For example, one nursing home last year was inspected nine times in response to the level of risk reported, notified or we were aware of. It does not matter. There is not a different framework for nursing homes that operate under the umbrella of a group, as a stand-alone provider or under an organisation as big as the HSE. It is the one regulatory framework.
