I'm sorry for prolonging this, but I'm really keen to understand. At the moment there is a mandated requirement in relation to the percentage in relation to the supplement that's paid to a home for supported residents. You are taking away one part of that but not making any change to the other part of it. There is no change at the moment. The actual payment follows the person, but the reality is that there is actually no change. There is just no safety net anymore in relation to the requirement for there to be supported residents.
