The minister is actually talking specifically about numbers. He outlined at the beginning why he can't answer in the terms you requested. I am reluctant to rule out of order a minister who is specifically talking about infections and the unfortunate deaths of staff and residents. I have allowed you to restate the question. There is an opportunity to debate the merits of the question afterwards. But I believe the minister is very narrowly confining himself to the information he has at hand and he is therefore being directly relevant.
