There's the 24/7 nurses and also a requirement in October 2023 for 40 minutes of care—you referred to it in your second reading address. Forty care minutes. I'm just wondering if you can tell me how many additional registered nurses are required for the 40 care minutes. What is the collective total of those two things, which were coupled under the royal commission and which your government has chosen to decouple? I would like to know the coupled impact.
