Grant Millard, CEO of Anglicare Sydney, can be quoted as follows:
“We acknowledge the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission have, this afternoon, taken regulatory action, including appointing an independent adviser to provide additional support to Newmarch House.
“Since the outbreak, we have had generous support of providers in the Aged Care sector, including Commonwealth and NSW Governments, and various agencies.
“While the outbreak at Newmarch House has proved very challenging for all involved, the situation has substantially improved. We will continue to collaborate with key stakeholders as we work through the continuing challenges in the coming weeks.
“Our primary concern remains the health, wellbeing and safety of our residents, their families, and our staff.”
