Before he comes in, I note that the private providers are at pains to point out to the committee that they provide a better quality and cheaper service. The committee received an invitation to visit a private facility also. I am not saying that is correct. I am asking about the difference between the service provided by a public nursing home as opposed to a private one in terms of quality and services and whether that relates to the actual cost.
