I want to refer to a point the lady here made. I apologise; I cannot see her name from where I am sitting. I welcome the facts she gave us. As she rightly said, any death is upsetting for everybody, particularly the family. I acknowledge that it affects the carers and the voluntary organisations, and how difficult it is for them to accept it happens, notwithstanding their best efforts. She said she thought we needed more step-down accommodation. The poor man, who died this week, died on a pavement beside an open green space. There is a very low wall-----
