If families had that €1,000, under governance, would they not be prepared to provide care? Perhaps that is too creative. One could ask if there is a right place for legislative measures. I accept the point that the Bill concerns decision making and that if older people want to stay in their homes they cannot be forced out, if they have the capacity and wherewithal. However, where does one start with legislation? A measure such as the one I proposed should be enshrined in social, community, health and education legislation. I am in two minds as to whether to press the amendment. I appreciate the work that has been done on the Bill and that one cannot always have everything one wants.
