We recognise there is an opportunity with regard to the accommodation that older people need. It would also release three- and four-bedroom properties.

With regard to manning levels, we know that staff was culled in local authorities after the financial crash. Where are councils now, staff-wise, compared to where they were at the high of their staffing in 2010, 2011 or 2012? Are they back to 75% or 100%? I ask for a rough estimate.
