On a related point, there is a programme for Government that is not costed.

Since the Government is up and running for some time, I presume it has costings for a range of commitments, if not for every Department. Obviously, the Department of Health is a morass but if the costings for most of the other Departments were made available to us, it would ease the process. We want the public to have confidence that the budgetary oversight committee and the report we bring forward will work for everybody's sake.
