If the time hasn't run out, I should just mention that we do provide considerable support to informal caregivers now. One of the best forms of support, though, is home support, like housekeeping. This is a major support for families. It reduces the burden on family members who might otherwise have to provide that care, and it allows them to continue their efforts.
We also provide various types of respite care to give caregivers a break. We extended VIP services to primary caregivers, or to a group of primary caregivers, as you're well aware. We can also pay for family members to provide care under certain circumstances, such as when they live outside the veteran's home, and occasionally when they live with the veteran, although criteria can be tighter for that kind of support.
Finally, caregiving is a major part of the study we're undertaking right now. We're actually going so far as to cost the contribution of caregiving. It will give us, as well, a more nuanced understanding of what caregivers' needs are. There's also a second study under way. It's a smaller-scale study, but we're looking at caregivers of younger disabled CF members. So caregiving and support to families is a major focus and a major concern of research and of the department.
