I think many of us share the concerns about the outsourcing of more and more of our social care services. It certainly raises big issues like the ones Mr. Moynihan has outlined. He also talked about the tender process as it operates at the moment militating against not-for-profit organisations. I am aware of that in a general sense and many smaller not-for-profit organisations that were providing very good local services with a lot of benefits associated with the model have been squeezed by the tender process. Again, I ask ALONE to explain that a little further, specifically how it militates against not-for-profits.
