I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply. I agree fully with the Minister of State in respect of his last point. Such an outcome is the last thing we need. It reminds me of every District Court case that is sent to the Circuit Court, and that is not what I want. It may be that only one price agreement in every 1,000 is fixed but some mechanism is needed. The Minister of State referred to arranging this. Do we have a timescale for when the changes under discussion will be put in place? Will some mechanism be in place to deal with concerns or cases where someone believes that not all issues have been dealt with in coming to a conclusion about a price fixed for a nursing home bed?
