In response to the questions from Senator Polley, the number of people on the national priority system as at 1 December for a level 4 home-care package is 14,375. Unfortunately, I'm not able to give you a number for the people who have received letters regarding home-care packages subsequent to their family member passing away, because that figure relies on that being reported back to the government. We don't have full information on that because it relies on people reporting it back to us at this point in time.
