The UNCRPD has been mentioned in this committee before. It lays out various things that need to be done and should be done. It is an aspirational document, but it also contains some clear things. Would Ms Larthwell say that without the statutory right to home care included in this, and the plan is that will come at some point, the legislation as it stands would be UNCRPD compliant? Is the statutory right to home care not within the realms of what the UNCRPD says? I am not sure if that is open to interpretation, or if there is a clear line on that.
