I'm taking advice as we're debating this, but to be clear, there are two issues. There is the one-off 12-month exemption that's provided, which applies to services of 30 or fewer beds in modified Monash model 5 to 7 areas. As to whether services in modified Monash model 1 areas, for instance, get extra funding, the answer is that if they have 60 beds or less then they would be eligible for that funding. So, it's possible that I misled you before. My answer earlier in reference to the level 5 to 7 areas was in relation to the exemption rather than the funding. I apologise for any confusion.
