Mr. Phelim Quinn:

We are speaking about health and human services and rights to the basket of services, and in our opening statement we made reference to the Care Act in England, which clearly sets out statutory responsibility for social care elements of what the state is required to provide. Something similar to this would be a first-line development in respect of the commissioning service and, more particularly, in respect of the safeguarding of vulnerable individuals. Something that would clearly set out the State's responsibilities for the care of its most vulnerable would be a good first step in recognising people are vulnerable and that the State has responsibility. Ms Dunnion will speak about the question raised about the emergency department crisis and the care of elderly patients being transferred from nursing homes.
