Text

I thank the Minister for her answer. There has been a lot of chat about doctors' surgeries in the rest of the UK saying that they cannot afford to pay the contributions. If Treasury were to change what it has said about the issue to date and make a positive decision, would we see Barnett consequentials from that, and, if so, would those consequentials be ring-fenced?

Assessment

Not analysed

This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
