Special Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General on the Nursing Homes Support Scheme: Discussion

10:15 am

Dr. Colm O'Reardon:

I am not aware of any such roadblocks, but the work was effectively paused until people could find a source of data they could use. They had got to the point in March this year where they were able to recommence work and then we were hit by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. That has knocked us back by many months, but work is recommencing now on the report.
