With regard to more remote care, it has been suggested that, rather than smartphones, the staff have Nokia 3210s. These are the type of phones that people were seen using in the programme "Love/Hate", but for very different reasons. It has also been suggested that staff have no handsets and that, several months into the coronavirus restrictions, approval is still awaited in the context of videoconferencing facilities. I ask Mr. Ryan to comment on that.
