I will make a final point, as I must attend Leaders' Questions. I want to see universal GP care.
I want to see more people with free GP cover as well but if we serve people initially where this happens without the resources in place and they then end up waiting longer, possibly weeks in some cases, to see a GP, that could sour them quickly, which would be a mistake. We need to get it right and all I am saying is if we do not put the foundations in I am a little concerned about what might happen and people's judgments on the ability of the political system to deliver. It is really important we get this right. I am sorry but I have to finish there.
