I will ask a final question about safeguarding. Safeguards were mentioned in the context of the Bill but the whole concept of adult safeguarding is to protect an individual from potential neglect or abuse. We have seen some of that happen in nursing homes. The vast majority of nursing homes provide a very good service but there have been examples of neglect and abuse. It is the same in disability centres. There is a whole debate about safeguarding legislation, an independent safeguarding authority and so on. What is in this Bill in respect of safeguarding people with regard to home care? What can Ms Larthwell point to in this Bill?
