I would like to support what the noble Baroness, Lady Turner, has just said about that element. I absolutely agree that it has always been an absurdity that nursing and care costs, both of which are related to the way in which an individual is cared for, should be separated. Any move away from those artificial and ridiculous distinctions is to be welcomed. My anxiety about this clause is that we are unfortunately imposing new definitions and new trenches down which people can fall, and new cliffs to fall over, making them ineligible. That adds to the difficulty. I agree with the main thrust of the thoughts of the noble Baroness, Lady Turner.
