I am sorry but I only have nine seconds left and would appreciate "Yes" or "No" answers. I take it that everyone agrees that we should move towards a more home-care based model. Regarding how this is relevant to the work of this committee, can our guests give a commitment that there is nothing, contractual or otherwise, that will result in a cost to the State from this? Private nursing homes, some of which are new, had an expectation of fair deal scheme revenue but that might be removed if our home care strategy is successful. Can we be assured that there will not be a cost to the Exchequer if that strategy succeeds?
