I also add, in summary, that, by definition, no decisions have been made about delivery models. There is no implementation plan or funding committed, as noble Lords have heard previously, nor would it be right to do so in advance of a Bill becoming law and the details being confirmed. The noble Lords, Lord Gove and Lord Carlile, helpfully made these points earlier, for which I was grateful. I say to the noble Lord, Lord Wolfson, and to other noble Lords that, of course, if the Bill becomes law, the Government will absolutely have to consider how to maintain safeguards and protections, including for the vulnerable groups, many of which have been discussed today.
