I thank Mr. Tyndall. It is worth reiterating that we will be living with these congregated settings for some time to come. According to the figures I have, if we are going to be dealing with 18 people each year, then it will be 74 years before we have everybody moved out of congregated settings. That estimate does not include any increase in demographics, which I presume will occur.

My next and final question is more for the witnesses from the Department of Health. Once the pilot is complete and if it is successful, notwithstanding what has been previously cited regarding its reliance on adequate funding being provided, how many people is it expected will be able to move out of congregated settings each year?
