Okay. I want to come back to that issue of the disability facilities and maintenance contributions. On the surface, it looks like those maintenance contributions are in a different category to the nursing home charges. As it turned out, we know that some residents in disability facilities did avail of the repayment scheme. I want to ask Mr. Watt about the statements he made today. He said, "Appeals to this decision were taken, and the independent appeals officer determined that contributions made by residents of a number of institutions should be repaid under the provisions of the scheme." He went on to say, "The rationale for this decision was ... the specific contract that these organisations had with the relevant health board for inpatient services." Was that a specific distinction in a contract that was given by particular health boards or was it a particular contract that was given to particular organisations?
