I asked earlier about medical cards and the service provided. A person based in his or her private home gets a service from GPs as well as all the other services. However, let us suppose a person goes into a private nursing home. Seemingly, from the evidence given earlier, that person loses all of that. Does the deputation have any comment on that? Should it be part of the arrangement when the organisation is making a deal with a private nursing home that these services should be included in the cost?
