Does Mr. Mulvany accept that we are putting a huge amount of money into public nursing homes, and yet the cost per week is still extremely high? I understand that huge demands are being placed on public nursing homes because the buildings are not up to standard. As we are bringing the buildings up to standard, should there not be savings made at the same time?
