I thank Ms Carr. Her answer is that there is not enough money. In this case, moving this gentleman into a stepdown facility out of the NRH, which is obviously a high skill and expensive place for someone to be, would be cheaper. Given any envelope of money, why is it that we are keeping people unnecessarily in a high-cost, high-care environment, and not changing the mix of the money we have to put people in a clinically more suitable situation and provide a cheaper solution? Why is that not happening?
