I thank both Deputies. We have more than 600 community groups around the country helping us to find people, but we need more. We need everyone to be on board to find people. The key part of this scheme is that it is a connection to people's wider community as well. This is why these community groups are invaluable.

I will comment on the availability of the alarm. There are three versions of the base unit. The version selected depends on the available telecoms equipment in the participant's home.
