The HIQA report which was done this time last year identified two areas of significant risk. One was standard six, staffing management, and one was standard nine, premises, safety and security. I would like to know what aspects have been addressed since that recent HIQA report. I have one final question. Does the witness believe there is capacity at Oberstown for a further intake of older residents?
