What Mr. Watt is saying is correct but in some cases we underspend and in other cases we overspend. That puts on its head the argument that Mr. Watt is putting forward.

Let us move on to something else if I might. In general there are particular pinch points throughout the health services in terms of delivery, whether it is in CHO7, in mental health, and in children and adult's mental health. In other places throughout the country there are other pinch points. To what degree is Mr. Watt satisfied now that these pinch points have been identified and remedied? Is that the first thing that has to happen if we are going to produce smooth delivery of health services?
