We have had representatives of the National Treatment Purchase Fund and the Health Service Executive before us. In fairness, we give them a hard time, as is our duty, but we cannot subject nursing homes to the same scrutiny. They do not come within our remit because they are voluntary or private for-profit companies. There is an imbalance immediately. Is that right from the point of view of the committee?
