Who oversees that to ensure there is no wrongdoing in that regard? If there are moneys left over for savings, such as in the case of a person who wishes to save €20 per week, possibly towards burial costs, who oversees that and ensures it is being done and carried out properly and in accordance with the wishes of the patient, in particular those who do not have family members? If a resident has family members, the situation is different because the family members will visit the nursing home regularly and ensure the money is being spent correctly. If a resident has no family members, however, it is up to the nursing home to ensure that. I am seeking a general opinion on that issue.
