I will conclude because I am conscious of the clock. I thank Mr. Moynihan for his response.

I have been made aware of instances where significant numbers of carers are caring for one person, based on a rotation of perhaps three or four carers in a week. I have an issue with this, particularly where the person cared for has dementia or Alzheimer’s disease and will not be familiar with the carers coming to them. Is ALONE coming across that?

What is the position on fundraising?
