I hear that and I appreciate that, but the facility that's in question has been assessed by the Commonwealth and has met the Aged Care Quality Standards. How can the standards be up to scratch when they allow people to lie in bed for hours bleeding from wounds that nobody treats? This person was actually sent to hospital the next morning when people came on shift. The situation was it wasn't just a little scratch. We just want things to be right, and we hear that it's a problem. We're here; we're the grown-ups in the room, which I've heard.
