My experience is that people prefer to be at home. We had experience of a family situation in which there was great difficulty in getting carers. Is there great difficulty in getting carers or were they just looking for full-time carers in that particular case? I do not understand what the objectives of the tender system are. Could Mr. Murphy touch on the home care tender system? I did not quite understand what he was saying there. What is delaying the introduction of the regulation he would like to see? Is there a particular delay in it or is it something he is urging and encouraging?
