Text

I appreciate the answer, Minister, but it is the same answer as your predecessor gave a number of years ago, so, on that basis, "working at pace" means that you will not have a new funding model in place in this mandate. The services of the hospice will not be funded by good vibes and slogans. Can you give an assurance today that you will provide the hospice with a date for when you will finish that work, given that it has now been going on for two and a half years?
