Obviously, 80% of residents in nursing homes are in private care. Per capita, was there a greater incidence of deaths or unexplained deaths in private nursing homes than in public nursing homes? I am not asking in general terms because obviously there are four times more residents in private nursing homes than in State-owned homes. Was the number of deaths or unexplained deaths greater in private nursing homes than in public nursing homes?
