There has been a lot of talk recently about housing and I am looking forward to the launch of a report tomorrow on housing for the elderly, in particular. There has been a lot of talk about new retirement villages, a term I do not particularly like, but we will have to wait until tomorrow to see what happens at the launch of the report by the Minister. We must focus on health care assistants who do the serious, real work in nursing homes of washing, turning, cleaning and feeding our elders. Why are their skills not included on the critical skills list? Nobody is listening to me.
