Police investigate nursing home poisoning fears
Well we're currently working with management through various numbers of documents that have been given to staff in recent weeks to try and ascertain and form a picture ourselves as to what has been taking place.
But quite clearly, we need the Standards and Accreditation Agency to actually release their findings as soon as possible, so we can then begin the process of sifting through what has actually happened.
ALISON CALDWELL: Is it possible that maybe a disgruntled staff member might have tampered with the water?
SHAUN HUDSON: I think it's far too early to speculate on who may have done what in relation to the water. I think we need to allow the police to do their investigation, and take it from there.
ALISON CALDWELL: That agency is actually now investigating all of Benetas' nursing homes that they run in Australia.
