One of the issues we will soon have to face is the ageing population. My Department and the Department of Health and Children, through the health strategy, has promised to reform the current arrangements. A study on the future financing of long-term care is being finalised. We are exploring strategic issues such as care, home subvention, the role of the social insurance fund and the role of carer's allowance and carer's benefit and their possible financing through PRSI. We are taking into consideration many approaches that have been tried abroad. A number of pilot studies are taking place through the Department of Health and Children. I will soon be able to present to the Government, along with the Minister for Health and Children, a strategic way of financing long-term care. The report will also be published very shortly.
