I appreciate that. Obviously, we have all been under budgetary constraints due to the economy, etc. Looking at it from an innovative point of view, this is a problem that will increase as ever more people are ageing and they need support in their homes. A lot of people would be happy to contribute. While they might get a certain amount of hours supported by the HSE or by the taxpayer, they would be happy to pay a contribution towards a certain amount of hours and then maybe a higher contribution if there was more needed.
