Seán Fleming: I have one very quick question. When the rate is set by the NTPF for a nursing home and the subvention is agreed, can there be top-up fees? I am not talking about the little ancillary extras, but can the HSE approve someone for €1,000 per week with the family paying €200 on top of that?
