Yes. I think the difference that you draw out there is that in the direct line of decision-making in operational decisions in the instance that you outline, involving a small board of a small provider, you would think that there would be a very close link between the decisions the board takes and the care provided, which I don't think can be assessed as being the same as for a minister who has the broad responsibilities that have been set out in this act.
