No, I am not straying from the Bill at all. The Minister of State might clarify that point.

Finally, the Minister of State has stated that he intends to bring forward an amendment in respect of the nursing home support scheme. I also intend to table an amendment on Report Stage in that regard because I believe that where someone is eligible for the nursing home support scheme, he or she should have an alternative to remain in the community, rather than being forced into a nursing home.
