Ms Kate Duggan:

Not for our inspection and monitoring, but it is important to say that we have sought through our Department and the Department of Health that HIQA would take over the inspection, registration and monitoring of all of the facilities, so that there would be equity in that.

Those in the last group, which is the 61 who are in special emergency arrangements, are not regulated or registered. They are the ones where we have put the double lock in to try and give ourselves further assurances around the care being provided.
