I prioritised respite for carers because this is one of the areas that carers repeatedly tell us that they need more support in, and we need to look after our carers to ensure that they’re able to continue to look after the people who they care for in return. So, I will be working up the specific details in terms of what we will be requiring from local authorities with regard to the funding for respite care particularly, and, again, that will go out through grant funding, with specific requirements on local authorities as to what we would expect them to see for that money, and for support for carers locally as well, because we absolutely are clear that this has to make a difference for carers on the front line, who will be in receipt of respite, to, as I say, enable them to continue the important role that they do.
