Throughout this pandemic the regulator has done its job, which is what it did last year. The regulator worked with Jeta Gardens to bring them back to compliance. That is the role the regulator has. The regulator has taken further regulatory action in relation to Jeta Gardens, and the government has taken additional assistance measures as well as the outbreak has progressed, with clinical first responders and an Aspen team in there to support the facility in relation to their infection control procedure and their processes within the facility. We have continuously monitored the facility and we have put in place the measures and the additional resources that have been required to support the facility through the outbreak. (Time expired)
