Ms Laverne McGuinness:

I can provide direct detail on the particular contract. The contract they would have would vary very much on an individual basis. It would depend also on where they are situated. We have home help provision in areas that are quite remote such as on the Aran Islands. Those people's contracts might be different on an individualised basis from someone providing home help in the city. Some people have to travel some distances and in that case we would not be able to put in place an outsourced arrangement. I can provide the committee with the terms and conditions of the contract.
