I thank the Member for her question. It is a fair question to ask. When we look at the Budget allocations and the pressures that we are under, it is absolutely right that every penny needs to be accounted for. One could say that much more needs to be done. The work that the SPPG has done with the limited funding that it has been able to allocate from the elective waiting list is useful, but it is not the end picture. For those who await services and have been struggling, we need to do much more. I urge my Executive colleagues to get around the table and agree a Budget to ensure the future development of such services and to ensure that funding for the services that need to be provided is recurrent so that we have that full picture.
