I have a small point. I agree with everything Mr. Rogan is saying but I believe there is a cohort - I honestly cannot measure it - of older people living alone who have not been coming out at all. We need to reach out to them. They are afraid for their health and do not have family supports. They are becoming increasingly isolated and there is an increasing number of issues in this regard. I welcomed everything Mr. Rogan said. Perhaps other speakers may take up these points with him.

Do the witnesses have proposals on what we should be doing? Could they prioritise where we need to spend more money urgently and immediately? I am aware the list could be endless. Could the witnesses prioritise the key needs so we can present them in a report, if necessary?
