Text
I thank the Member for giving way. That is an important point, because nobody is saying that the health service in the South is perfect or that the health service in the North is anywhere near perfect. I can tell Members that both jurisdictions are failing women, day and daily, so we have an opportunity to create a genuinely better health service that delivers better for all our people, particularly children with cancer, because, in order to have real specialisms, we need to have demographics. We need to have enough people in order to create specialists.
