Mr. Bernard Gloster:

I will ask Ms Broderick, who is the national lead for older persons, to address that. The best contribution we probably made in respect of that issue this year was the change in the rate we paid to the contracted providers. Whether they were non-governmental, not-for-profit or for-profit providers, we substantially increased the per hour rate to try to enhance their capacity to recruit and retain. We are starting to see some positive trend in that regard. Ms Broderick will give a flavour of the overall home help position.
