Ms Oonagh Buckley:
They are a standard procedure normally. During the pandemic, for health and safety reasons, both for the people living in the centres and our own staff, we had to suspend them. We can do them on request. This year in particular we carried out a number of unannounced inspections of centres from which we were getting reports that there were difficulties.
