Text
I thank the Minister for his statement. Whilst the £69·3 million that has been announced today for health pay goes some way towards funding this year's pay award, as the Minister will be aware — it has been mentioned — based on expectations that have been raised previously, many will view today's allocation as falling far short of what was promised. Does the Minister therefore accept that, based on the previous promises, it would be entirely unfair if today's £31 million shortfall in the Health budget were also to be taken off next year's opening budget for Health?
