Mr. Tony O'Brien:

Thirty days. If one is providing residential care without a rehabilitative component that extends 30 days then one must be licensed in accordance with the relevant legislation by HIQA. They have the right to grant, revoke or vary such licensing. The Deputy may be aware that sometimes they do that in respect of private nursing homes. The net effect of that is that the HSE is then required to take over the management of those private nursing homes at least for an interim period.
