At the same time the number of places in State run facilities is decreasing. As a result people are being forced and, effectively, told to rely on private nursing homes without any recourse to public care. That is creeping privatisation, a development with which I have a major difficulty at a time when private facilities are popping up all over the place and for which there is active Government support. They are not care based facilities but financial arrangements, in effect, financial units run by conglomerates on a commercial basis. We must seriously ask ourselves how we are managing, in particular, elderly care in the community.
