My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Aged Care, Senator Gallagher. The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety found that unacceptable staffing levels in aged-care homes had created horrific environments of substandard care. The final report recommended that registered nurses be required on site in residential aged-care homes 24 hours a day seven days a week. It also recommended the introduction of minimum care time from registered nurses, enrolled nurses and personal care workers. Could the minister update the Senate on the Albanese government's progress in implementing these recommendations?
