Mr. Ian Carter:

On the issue of cardiac rehabilitation, I suppose the response was not designed to be unrealistic but there are two matters to report to be exact. One, there has been an increased demand and there has been increased productivity, but also it is identifying some degree of fragmentation of the services.

Some fragmentation of the services is being identified. Therefore, we will be working this year with the hospital to try to better structure the service so it will not have the disconnects. That work will be commencing directly.

With regard to NCHD overtime hours and agency hours, rather than going into detail now, as agreed, we will supply the committee with all the information in a short period.

With regard to what is being termed "innovation funding", the aim for 2014 is for that funding to apply to both scheduled and unscheduled care. This is to try to maintain the scheduled care access in relation to the unscheduled access to try to maintain the performance improvement we have seen in the past two or three years. It will be structured on both a hospital-specific site and a hospital community-specific site.
