Mr. T.J. Malone:
Not specifically. The key areas we looked after were the broadband community points within the regions. It was taken at the time that it would take seven years to roll out broadband. The broadband officers in each local authority designated a number of areas we could provide broadband to, so people in the community could come to those. When Covid happened, we switched to including schools as part of the broadband community points. If nursing homes are within the national broadband remit or intervention area, we will pass them the same as any other premises.
