Mr. Maurice Farnan:

To clarify, in the move from Millfield House to Garnish House, people were moving into single rooms in that facility because we were dealing with it in the context of Covid. With regard to Owenacurra, many of those who moved went to nursing homes and were placed in either single rooms or shared rooms. Having taken account of their needs and everything else, some were placed in shared rooms in mental health services.
