Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I appreciate the fact that the minister is going to come back to the Senate with some information but does not this case follow that of Elizabeth House Private Nursing Home earlier this year—one I know the minister is aware of—which failed 30 of the 44 care standards but was not sanctioned like the facility that my grandmother lives in, which he is also aware of? Is the minister able to provide the same personal guarantee to the residents of Greenmount Gardens that he gave on 18 October this year, when he promised that every resident in the Elizabeth House Private Nursing Home was receiving top quality care?
