I welcome the roll-out in individual areas because it will heighten people's awareness of it. It is a good idea. Mr. Connolly spoke about the seniors alert scheme and the wish for support to extend it for installing alarms, but how will that work? In my constituency, my late father, Lord have mercy on him, used Helplink South which was an alarm he wore on his wrist. It was very effective for an elderly person. Is Mr. Connolly suggesting that, similar to that, we would put alarms in houses to counter burglary? How does he expect that would be rolled out?
