I thank the witnesses for their presentations this morning and for all the work they are doing in this area, which is challenging. We talk about family carers and the need for them to receive support. One of the problems that has arisen, in particular as it has got more difficult since Covid, is with them getting a break, in other words, two weeks of respite care. What information are the witnesses getting from around the country about the availability of respite care to give a break to the carers? What challenges do they find in dealing with that issue?
