I thank the Minister of State for his detailed response. It heartens me to hear that he is in contact with the individual concerned.

As the Minister of State will be aware, the population is getting older. In the next 30 years, the number of people over 65 will double and the number of people over 85 will quadruple. Of course, that will put extra pressures on the health system, especially residential units. I hope and pray that we will not be forcing people to live in inappropriate accommodation when that happens.
