Gabhaim buíochas leis an gCathaoirleach Gníomhach. I want to see the statutory home care scheme put in place as quickly as possible. That is one of the things we must do to reduce pressure on emergency departments and hospitals, as the Minister of State knows. In addition to the issues she identified, such as regulation and other measures that need to be put in place to make this happen, the main measure we need to take is increase capacity because if we put this scheme in place, more people are going to be looking for more hours because that is the nature of it.
