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

Dr. Kathleen MacLellan:
In relation to the capital programme and the ongoing considerations that we are having, it is very important to recognise as well that we need to look at the impact of Covid and the additional requirements that we would not have had a year or two years ago in relation to infection prevention and control. That is also going to have an impact on our capital programme as we move forward on our deadlines around 2021.
