Before you move on, Chairman, the nursing home support scheme was mentioned. Is there merit to having a specific section on housing options for older people and that the topic would be broadened out? A very good report was brought out by the then Minister of State at the Department of Health, former Deputy Jim Daly, about housing options for older people. It is a big area. It would not have to be between now and Christmas but it should happen in the new year because it does feed into a lot of other areas and then the nursing home support scheme aspect could be brought into the wider topic.
