I propose to take Questions Nos. 383 to 386, inclusive, together.

I understand that the report has now been received by Social Care division and will be considered over the coming period. Any proposals for changes to the approved Capital Investment Programme for Community Nursing Units would have to be considered in the context of capital funding available to Health, potential revenue implications and compliance with the agreed capital approval process.
