I appreciate the answer. I appreciate that perhaps I was not specific enough in the question on monitoring but the Minister of State will appreciate that it is the handover and the monitoring between carers even on a daily basis that we were looking at. I appreciate that the Minister of State will come back to me on it. I note that she spoke about implementing national standards for home support services. The suggestion might be that, when that is being looked at on a daily routine basis, part of those national standards for home support include that if there is a change in the person who is giving the care, be that because of a change of shift or whatever, part of the handover includes the handing over of notes. Apparently, it was not a one-off. The person who brought this to my attention is a reasonable person and it was happening on a continual basis, and only with a HSE employee in that scenario. If there are guidelines in place, they might need to be looked at before something serious happens. Gabhaim míle buíochas leis an Aire Stáit.
