Six months have elapsed since this House passed the Second Stage of the Nursing Home Support Scheme (Amendment) Bill, which I introduced. It is designed to give people who qualify for the fair deal scheme the option of home care instead. The Bill did not go to Committee Stage because the Government gave me a commitment that the Bill would be discussed on Committee Stage within six months. The six months elapse tomorrow. Is it the Government's intention to let the Bill go to Committee Stage, and if so, when?
