Right. Okay. We can talk about that. There are great concerns around how the IPAS system is managed. I have been at the coalface of this in dealing with the outworkings of it in my constituency for well over a decade now in terms of emergency accommodation. I refer to the fact that we are, on the one hand, dealing with rumours, suggestions, concerns and fears and trying to get information, while on the other hand, we are dealing with a very cloudy situation in terms of full information. Can the Minister give us information in respect of the range of payments IPAS providers are receiving, from the lowest cost per bed to the highest cost per bed?
