I thank the Member for her point and for her support on the issue, because I know where she is coming from. Having listened intently to the deputy First Minister's answers on the need for a recurrent Budget, I ask everyone in the House to fully support and endorse that. We have always been vocal that a single-year budget does not allow the Department of Health to do the transformational pieces nor commit in the long term to the strategies that were costed when they were produced so that people knew how much they would cost and what they would get for their money. I am looking forward in anticipation to see what budget I will get next year, before I make any commitments about ring-fencing any allocation, unfortunately.
