On services in the community, if you take someone who has transferred to a nursing home, for instance, do we have that connectivity with the nursing homes as regards rehabilitation as well? One of the concerns I have relates to the likes of that person who has Huntington's disease. He has gone to a nursing home but I am not sure whether there are sufficient structures in place to get him the support he needs. Will he have to come back into the hospital again to get the kind of care he needs?
