Ms Catherine Cox:

I will go back to what Mrs. Justice McGuinness said earlier about whether we need practical legislation. I believe we need both. I believe we need to keep this in the Constitution. We need to recognise and value the work of carers. Of course we need practical legislation. The Government is currently drafting legislation on a statutory entitlement to home care, which will support that. Mrs. Justice McGuinness mentioned the need to be careful to give great consideration to what we are doing and to get good advice. I believe all of that to be the case. We can still do that while keeping an amended version of this section. We can get all the advice before we amend. If we delete the relevant section now, the recognition we have now will be deleted.
