I believe that is accepted. We have had a number of reports on the difficulties we have and on how we are not addressing elder care as we need to. We need to facilitate people who want to stay in their own homes. If it is possible, I will ask Mr. Musgrave to come in on the wider issue of the contracts required. I accept he is representing private care operators, which obviously intend to make a profit. That is on the record. There is no question about that. However, it is still part of the system and is very much required at this time.
