I have one question to start with. While the increase in expenditure is to be warmly welcomed, the key thing about it is looking at it in the context of demographics. In terms of demographics, how much additional expenditure, both on the capital side and the other side, will be available on top of the expenditure for what we really need to address? How much will be available to grow services in real terms on top of matching what we expect will be needed to remain on a stable basis? Will the Minister break down the figures that relate to that?
