I am aware of that and of the recent improvements, which I acknowledge. However, take St. Joseph's in Shankill in my area, which is facing significant funding issues. That is my concern. It is linked to the overall funding structure, the NPTF and the nursing homes support scheme process, and the appeals mechanism relating thereto. In the 17 seconds I have left, I want to distinguish this as a particularly significant issue given the profile of people and the presentation and increasing diagnosis. I would ask that particular attention be paid to this matter.
