tor WATT () (): The minister claims that Jeta Gardens was brought back to compliance, but yesterday reports emerged that chronic staff shortages at Jeta Gardens have forced 90-year-old residents to care for each other, that families were lied to about vaccinations and not informed their loved ones had COVID until they were dying and that staff were asked to only change masks 'if you need to' due to mask shortages. How could the minister fail Jeta Gardens residents so badly when he was twice warned their safety was at risk?
