Ms Angela Fitzgerald:

The point we made about the profile of staffing change was between one inspection and the other. There is a question for us about the routine information we receive between inspections that alerts us and requires providers to alert us about material changes. That is a regulatory change that is now being implemented. It will allow us to know how many people are on the ground every day because, at the moment, we request information in advance of inspections as part of our inspection process.

However, very specific routine information coming through about staffing levels, staff turnover and the issues we have raised here will strengthen our pieces. The Garda is notified. I will ask Ms Cliffe to explain the notifications that come in and which have been referred to because it is a really important point.
