I have no intention of dragging this out. There are some issues that I want to ask the minister about and get on the record. Minister, in your second reading contribution just then you referred to a point I raised during my second reading contribution, which was around the issue of hospital leave. You made the point that it is unlimited. It is my understanding that there is not a restriction on the number of days that somebody can be in hospital out of residential aged care but they still do have to keep paying their accommodation costs and daily fee. Is that not a correct understanding?
