I like what the Professor has said about it being relational rather than transactional. With regard to nursing homes, there is an issue that has not been raised but it did come up with the Committee on Disability Matters. If we do bring in these rights to care, it is important that when we start providing personal needs assistants, home care or community care that those who are in nursing homes are also able to exit them and that we do not forget those who have been forced into residential care because of the old model but that we can provide routes out This is completely fundamental and I hope that the committee can follow this up.
