I thank the Deputy for his continued interest in this. As he knows, home care is so important to the 56,000 people across the length and breadth of the country who receive home care to support them to age well at home. I hope to have this legislation before the House around June. We have done substantial work on it. It is a complicated issue and it is important we legislate and put home care providers on a statutory footing, be they public, private or voluntary.
