I turn to Amendment 52, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Barran. As policy thinking develops, we want to ensure that legislation develops with it. Both regional care co-operative pathfinders have learned as they have expanded their functions. For example, both areas made the decision to take on residential workforce development as a means of ensuring the long-term stability in their provision. We are keen to allow the same flexibility to other areas as they develop their own regional co-operation arrangements.
