It feels to me that what they are thinking about doing here, reading between the lines, is maybe not having the money, the funding, the resources that they'd like at the start of this process.
So bringing in things in a more of a kind of staggered way.
So what you might see to begin with, maybe in this parliament, is some stuff around care home staff and the way they're funded and the way they're paid.
And that might perhaps end up in a situation like Alison was talking about there, where we have free personal care, like in Scotland.
But with this kind of ultimate ambition to do something perhaps more ambitious in the longer term.

I thought it was quite interesting that he spent the first bit of that speech talking about how the care, a lot of the care that he'd experienced, either personally or through speaking to people, was very, very good.
And he kept paying, almost patting staff on the back and saying, you're doing a great job, and then went on to the problems afterwards.
I think that was deliberate.
I think there's this idea that, you know...
Social care is the kind of thing you go into work for if you have to.
