Text

I thank the Minister for that answer. I hope that he accepts it when I say that there are many service providers across multiple sectors who would see £20 million as a very significant uplift. What they would ask, especially in relation to the health sector, is this: how can that cost be met, and what will now not be done in order to meet that need?
