Can we return to that? I would like to understand the position further. If a facility is registered, the stick, as opposed to the carrot, is that it can lose its registration if it is non-compliant. Will Ms Casey give an example of how that will work with non-registered facilities? I am trying to understand a number of issues. What would be the nature of the report? Could families report to an inspector about a non-registered facility? What evidence would be required to do so? Would it have to be a medical professional? What threshold of evidence would the inspector require? What would be the follow-up in a non-registered facility? How do we implement law for non-registered facilities? I am trying to understand and require more clarity around how that would work for non-registered facilities or even for facilities that are in the process of being registered.
