As stated in the previous question a considerable amount of preparatory work is needed to develop policy proposals in relation to a funding scheme and regulation of homecare. This includes a public consultation process which is scheduled for May of this year. It is not possible at this stage to give a precise target date for the introduction of new legislation but this is a key priority for me.
