Can I seek clarification? Your advisers may be in a better position. My understanding was that there was going to be funding made available through the AN-ACC model for the transition to 16 hours a day, seven days a week, 200 minutes of care, including 40 minutes of registered nurse care, and that those transitional funding arrangements were going to be made available from 1 October 2022 to enable them to be in a position to have that particular provision in place by 1 October 2023. I'm keen to understand how the funding arrangements from this AN-ACC amendment that we're putting in place relates to the provision of that transition funding that the sector is expecting.
