Excuse me, Deputy. I will answer the question. I cannot ignore a HIQA report that identifies concerns saying that there is a significant potential health and safety risk. The transfer of residents has begun, as the Deputy knows. Forty-three residents have been transferred from Cherry Orchard campus, with 17 residents still on site. The health and safety of each resident is the most important thing. This is their home from home.

Unfortunately, HIQA has deemed it not fit for purpose and the residents' removal will have to continue.
