- David Tune in his independent review of the 2012 Living Longer, Living Better legislation noted the need for measures to ensure long-term sustainability of the sector. This requires assessment across the full spectrum of revenue levers such as private and public funds and insurance products.

- Also, it is still not clear how current funding commitments will meet the projected need of about 140,000 HCPs by 2021/22 – an extra 66,000 packages.
