I ask Mr. Hennessy to be very specific and not vague. When he says that we will require additional resourcing, is he saying that, as we sit here, the money is not available to fund these, so those people who are waiting for those nine drugs may as well forget waiting, because there is no point and that is not going to happen? Is it going to happen? Saying that there is a funding issue is not what people want to hear. They want to hear an answer in a fairly definitive way.
