The short answer to that question—again being conscious of time—is that the act doesn't approach those issues in terms of compulsory registration. There are recommendations in the review which go to the kinds of issues that you're talking about, and the minister has established a taskforce—of providers and, I think, also participants, chaired by Ms Natalie Wade—that will do some further work on this set of issues. They do engage some of the challenges of scale. I think everyone would accept that it is a government scheme that must provide a quality set of services that underpin the objectives of the scheme, but wrestling with those issues will be informed by the work of the taskforce.
