My officials are saying that they do not think so, but that is not quite the full answer. As I said earlier, one of the challenges we are facing, particularly from some of the settlers who have come from Africa, is that they are a younger population. Almost as a matter of definition, if you like, there is a stronger orientation towards youth simply because many of the people who are coming are much younger and therefore the services that are required for them differ maybe from services required for somebody who is a couple of decades older. Whilst, as I am advised, there is no deliberate policy to say we are reorienting to youth, the reality is that in addressing the needs of the population we are therefore dealing with a younger population.
