I think I understand the question, but the point we're making is that all falls will be reported as a part of the quality indicator program. The question then becomes how you actually define a serious incident. Our view on that is, as I've explained to you in response to your question a moment ago, in those three circumstances that I've explained, it does require providers to make those assessments because all falls will be reportable under the quality indicator program. So there will have to be a process whereby providers make those assessments to consider those things. Of course, those things are also assessed as a part of the provider's ongoing accreditation process because all of the documentation that's gathered as a part of providing care is assessed as part of the provider's ongoing accreditation process.
