Finance Bill 2004 [[i]Certified Money Bill[/i]]: Committee and Remaining Stages.

Yes. It will satisfy those who have put forward the idea of residential nursing homes. It is one thing to provide for nursing homes as units on their own, but it is far better to provide nursing home units and sheltered accommodation. I made that addition to it in, I think, the second year. I think it relates to the fact that residential units are part of nursing homes. The Senator is right, in one sense, to state that it does not relate strictly to the nursing homes tax relief, but it is in that section of the Bill.
