Would it be fair to say that we are giving a number of discretionary powers to inspectors under this Bill? Ms Casey has mentioned serious patient safety incidents and it seems we need something like that. I know that does not arise under this Bill. Is the removal of a designation for a particular nursing home at the discretion of the inspector?
