Mr Deputy President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that this facility was reviewed in May this year, when the assessment team found that the facility did not have the staff needed to provide care ‘in accordance with the accreditation standards’ and that, ‘as a result of unfilled shifts and extra workloads on existing staff, staff are unable to complete all tasks expected of them whilst on duty’? Didn’t the assessment team recommend a two-year accreditation period with a follow-up visit within three months? Did that follow-up visit take place and, if so, what was found by the agency?
