I used the word "volatile" about tax receipts but I am not the only one who has used it. I am asking for a comment as to whether it is prudent to include once-off payments that will not be available next year. I do not think it is a prudent way to fund the health service and I ask for a comment on that. I understand how it works. I am interested in Mr. Desmond's view as to its prudence.
