Yes, my question is on home care packages. It has come to my attention in respect of home care packages that different sectors are refusing home care packages that were in existence for people with a disability. They are taking those home care packages from them, telling them the services must be provided by the disability service, and withdrawing the package before the disability service is put in place. That is wrong and I am asking the Minister of State to take it in hand immediately. People are moving budgets from one place to another section in the service and leaving people with a disability with no home care package.
