I have had a number of engagements, both public and private, with the Minister of State on this issue. All of us in this House understand the difficulties that exist regarding families who are looking for home care packages that will ensure their family members can stay at home as opposed to needing to go into long-term nursing care. We need to deliver that, while accepting there are difficulties because of pay scales and other issues. The Minister of State's task force has met a couple of times and is considering incentivising people who work in this sector and ensuring that we get more people into it. I would appreciate it if she will go into a little detail on that.
