Well, you sort of did. I will ask you another question: What is the current estimate number of nurses needed to ensure every aged-care facility in Australia has a RN on-site 24/7?

What is the estimated number of nurses believed to be required to meet the care minutes that will come into effect in October 2023, 40 minutes of care? Can I have them both separately? Do you have an accumulative total, because obviously some may well cross over into the other?
