To build on that, I know other colleagues have asked about staffing shortages. Does it concern the private nursing home sector in particular that as we move towards a model of statutory home care, private nursing homes may be pulling from the same pool of people in terms of employment? Are there enough care assistants and home carers in our country or about to be trained up in our country to meet the needs of both systems running concurrently?
