Many of the issues I would like to have addressed have been raised already. Will Mr. Redmond jog our memories with an overview of the cost of the fair deal scheme when we factor in what is taken in through the financial contribution of persons availing of nursing home care and the money received from the 7.5% deduction over three years or longer where the cap does not apply? What is the net cost to the country? Will he give an overview of the average stay of a person in nursing home care? How many people does this policy measure that we are awaiting affect? How many people on an annual basis and overall will benefit from the measure? I address this to Mr. Healy and Mr. Redmond. It might be helpful to have the figures but I apologise if this was raised before I came in.
