So we have a situation where an aged-care resident can be neglected, can be emotionally, psychologically and financially abused; and if there is a spot check that picks that up then the Aged Care Act comes into play. But if there is not a spot check that picks it up then that abuse can continue to go on and may not be reported because the reportee may not be protected by the provisions of this act. Can you confirm that that is the case?
