One can imagine a situation in which a relative is perhaps asked to remove from a cottage in Somerset because the relatives have found a rather lovely care home for them in Kelso. If they move to Kelso, are they then subject to the Scottish legislation? Will there be a residence requirement? None of these issues is addressed. It is not enough to say, “Oh, but we’re only at stage 2 in the Scottish Parliament”—we are actually going into stage 3. You have to look ahead and consider what the outcomes will be if we proceed with the Section 30 order in its present form.
