We really need to take a look at this now. On the morning before its programme went out, RTÉ broadcast details of the nursing homes that would be covered. I immediately sought a meeting with HIQA to get the body of work we are discussing done. It is to come back with a further body of work by the end of this week in respect of the overall Emies group. These are matters I take very seriously. We will proactively, as a matter of priority and urgency, be bringing forward changes.
