I too have seen those reports. That's why additional quality regulatory action has been taken against the provider, including a notice to agree, which requires additional capacity to be employed by the facility to ensure that it is providing services to the residents there in accordance with the quality standards. That is the role of the system, that is the role of the quality and safety commissioner, and that's what the commission has done.

I have to say I, like so many others, am extremely disappointed in the noncompliance of this service. They need to take responsibility for their role as an approved provider, and I will ensure that the quality commission does its oversight role. (Time expired)
