No, it is not. If the Deputy listened to my contribution he would have realised that we are inviting somebody in to devise a new scheme. That is the other option. We hope that scheme will continue to protect the people most in need of the service. I have said that three times - in my opening remarks and in response to questions. We do not know yet the shape of the scheme but we hope it can be operated not only in an efficient manner but that those most in need of the service will receive it.
