Ms Mary Dunnion:

The contingency framework that was issued in April was for nursing homes that had not suffered an outbreak and was based on the learning we had gathered. It included references to the development and establishment of crisis management teams, interaction between hospital groups, speciality positions in gerontology and the supporting services that were put there. That assessment was designed to ensure the 40% of nursing homes that did not have an outbreak of Covid-19 were in a position, based on the learning that had happened across the sector, to put those things in place should they have a Covid outbreak.
