I appreciate where the Deputy and we referenced it earlier. Residential placement is one of the most significant challenges we have. As I said, 60% of the entire budget is going on residential. The Deputy mentioned the under-65s and in terms of community neurorehabilitation teams we have three and we now have funding for a further three. I have seen at first hand how they can help to support the independence of people and allow them to move more seamlessly into the community. We have funding also that we will double the number of transitions for people under 65 in nursing homes.
