Perhaps when the Minister comes back, he can talk to us about the matters in hand, the contract, security of tenure, the additional charges, the adequacy of funding, home care and the range of issues under consideration. There are particular issues. I know from my work on dementia services that a 15 minute home help slot is almost of no help. It has to be adequate for the person concerned and consistent. There is a range of issues on which we could follow through.

I thank Mr. Tyndall for coming. We fully support what he is doing and will do all we can to further the recommendations he has made to us. I thank him and his officials for their assistance.
