Mr. David Delaney:
I can confirm that any property that is either in a contract renewal process right now, or any new property that is being taken on right now, would require all of the planning declarations from the county council, and all fire certification and insurance documents to be provided, before a contract is signed. That has been the case for the last year or so. Going back to that phase in 2022 and into 2023, when so many beds had to be brought on in a short space of time, that documentation might not have been in place, but I can confirm now that no contract would be entered into without that material being present.
