Mr. Pat Healy:

Absolutely. A dedicated team to long-stay care. They visit all of the registered nursing homes, both public and private, on a regular basis. They have their own risk assessment methodologies for doing that. They obviously hear complaints from the public and so on. They respond on a consistent basis. It is fair to say that the public facilities have been well regarded in relation to care.
