Mr. Bernard Gloster:

Regarding the nursing homes, I was in St. Vincent's hospital the week before last and they now have a specialist team based out of the emergency department. It is a consultant-led team with a dedicated vehicle and they go out to private nursing homes in the area. They assess people who are potentially a query for referral to the hospital. If they can apply a level of intervention that will help the person stay in the nursing home appropriately, they do that. Their conversion rate in to hospital at the moment is only about 9%, which is very good. If 250 patients are seen per month they are probably only referring 20.
