Negotiation takes place with each individual nursing home. It cannot be with a group because that would be in the territory of cartels. The NTPF tries to get best value for money in a contractual arrangement. Is that done on the basis of "Take it or leave it"? How does the NTPF negotiate with individual nursing homes? If I opened a nursing home tomorrow, how would I negotiate a price?
