I remind the Minister that these issue are happening on his watch. It is not always about resourcing. This is about assessing the most efficient way of providing and resourcing care. Let us consider the position of home help hours, home care hours and home care packages. The Minister has advocated time and again that these are the best ways of treating people and providing support for people to live independently in the home environment for as long as possible. The Minister's policies are the opposite in the context of the reduction of home help hours.
