We are up against the finishing line, unfortunately, but I would appreciate a reply in relation to the estimated reduction in capacity. The number of elderly people in the country is increasing. If the regulations result in a reduction in capacity of 35% by 2030, that will have huge implications for nursing homes and the care of the elderly. We need to be on top of that.
