I have heard you say this is a significant area of concern, and, as I articulated in my second reading contribution, aged-care recipients and COTA have indicated that they are concerned about the possibility of passing on costs, so there's general concern about this issue. However, it appears to me from your answer that you haven't sought assurances from providers that they won't increase the costs. Have any providers given you an assurance that they won't increase costs?
