I accept that. I welcome the promise that there will be no change in the legislative right people have to access an assessment of need.
When Bernard Gloster was before the committee, he said that people had a different view about CDNTs. He said that the people who had a better experience of CDNTs had a link worker or a direct contact person, which is the issue. We also heard here last week about another issue. We keep talking about a single point of access or a single door, but that would require a considerable amount of staffing and reworking. Where are we with the delivery of that? Link workers are important but the option is not available across the board.
