Sections 20 to 33, inclusive, are all technical amendments to the Nursing Homes Support Scheme Act for more complete cross-reference. I wish to flag that section 21 is to amend or extend the family successor to include first cousins, great-nephews, great-nieces and great-grandchildren. I will introduce an amendment on Report Stage to include various levels of cousins to make sure that a bachelor farmer or farmerette who may only have a first cousin of his or her own age would not be excluded from the scheme.
