Mr. Brian McEnery:

I would not think so. I can tell the committee that the NTPF are expert negotiators. I know that many other financial advisors approach the NTPF to make representations, and I know that the NTPF is enormously competent in negotiation. I absolutely do not think, then, that the perception described by Deputy Murphy might arise. Many advisors help nursing home clients; we only have a small portion. I do not think that people might assume me to be on the inside, because I am not. There is no link or crossover between the two roles.
