It is overly restrictive. Compared with other countries, we seem to tie ourselves up in knots here as to what we allow people to do, and it has consequences. I know there have to be rules, particularly around handling vulnerable elderly people's finances, their shopping and so on, but it just seems that it is holding back that system. The system, I believe, could do an awful lot more, save us an awful lot of money and even provide a better service. Would Mr. Gloster like to comment on that?
