I beg the Chairman's pardon. I am not saying that we should not visit a public nursing home but that the issue that has come before us is the high dependency level and issues like that. I do not think we should rush off to visit a public nursing home and feel we have to balance it with private nursing homes. I do not think that is necessary at this point. I think it is necessary to gather information and elucidate what the HSE is trying to point out to us, that is, that there is an unfair comparison. Perhaps we could include such a visit after that. I would have no problem with that.
