Deputy Burke asked about the regulation of homecare providers. The Deputy tabled a Bill last year. Much work is being done on that. I know that the Department has been in contact with the Deputy. We expect to meet the deadlines. It is important legislation. The Covid pandemic over the past 12 months has shone a spotlight on the care of the elderly in our country. I look forward to continuing to work with the Deputy on the regulation of homecare providers. We need certain standards that we can all aspire to. I thank the Deputy for his co-operation.
