Mr. Pat Healy:

Very much so. Each of the public facilities that we run and the private nursing homes would have their own management of nursing and professional caregivers overseeing the provision of care within the nursing home. Every residential facility has a person in charge who is responsible for ensuring the care is provided to the appropriate standard. It is those individuals and their teams that are inspected by HIQA when they come.
