There are two things on that. The Department of Health and the HSE have a productivity and savings task force that is looking at that particular point around savings related to public nursing home beds. We need a mix. I want to promote and expedite the provision of public nursing home beds but we must have a sustainable model in the private. There are a lot of family-run nursing home, and this is a very important point to put out. The greater majority of nursing homes provide a great level of care and have dedicated staff.
