My hon. Friend makes a very good point, and I hope we will be able to take up and develop that during the coming weeks.

Does my right hon. Friend agree that in a modern, responsive and caring social care system, we need more transparent and effective decision making and improved integration with the NHS, so that the person in need of care can navigate their way around the system?
