If we take a person in a household with a disability or mental health issues, the whole household is consumed by it. There are decisions made for possibly two generations of that particular family. We can see where they are going to. We have major debates on major subjects. There is a major debate on how we are going to be really inclusive because there is a role for everybody in society. We have seen over the last while there is a scarcity of people to fill roles in society. There is a massive opportunity if we were really to be as inclusive as possible.

I thank the witnesses and members for the thought-provoking debate. I thank our team for all the work they have done to keep everything on the straight and narrow. We are not sure whether we will have a public meeting next Wednesday. If we do not, we might have the private meeting at 4.30 p.m., subject to agreement by everybody, to discuss the challenges in terms of the budget and so forth. We will send out an email.
