A few issues are emerging and this is something I want everyone to take away. What emerged from the meeting last night was this is seen as people's home and what is familiar to them.

We know that sometimes when people move out of their homes and into nursing homes, they can regress very quickly because what is familiar is gone. This is something we really need to take into account. I understand, as we all do, that the building is not fit for purpose. I am not sure whether it would be considered a dangerous structure. Is it the case that it has been condemned by the fire service?
