The noble Lord has not got the decimal point in the wrong place. The figures work. I am not sure what other information the noble Lord wants. I am happy to write to him with much more information. Four hundred thousand people will benefit; 130,000 will receive re-enablement; 110,000 will receive free care for the first time; and 170,000 will receive care entirely or partially free, based on a means test, and will continue to do so. The 280,000 figure plus the 130,000 figure add up to 400,000.
