As with the previous amendment, this amendment would have a significant effect on Exchequer financing for the same reasons. The intent of the Bill is to put the charging for long-term care on a solid legal footing and to preserve resources available to the health services which are badly needed; we want to get maximum benefit from and spend the resources as widely as possible. I cannot accept this amendment.
