Ms Larthwell can see that there is differentiation in reality both recognised by the State and in terms of the requirements of that cohort.

The Department of Health has a requirement to provide services to that older persons sector and that responsibility is borne by a different Department for people with disabilities. Is that creating a structural issue with the completion of this Bill? In addition, the Bill does not make a differentiation between older persons and people with disabilities.
