Personal Care at Home Bill

I am listening carefully to the hon. Gentleman, but is he not trying to have it both ways? I would love to move directly to a National Care Service, as I hope many who have taken an interest in the Bill would too. However, I respect and understand the need for us to think carefully about the financial implications. Is he not giving the impression, particularly with amendment 12, of an open book for what could be achieved? By tabling that amendment, is he not giving the impression that something more could be delivered, when he knows that we are all under serious financial constraints?
