Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Adeelia Goffe:

My only concern is that if too much energy is spent on investing in the future, the waiting lists now will not get any shorter. It needs to be done in tandem with making sure people who are waiting and urgently need access will still receive access. If it is necessary to put emergency legislation in place, then certainly do so. However, allowances, funding and staffing need to be made available for people who need access today and needed it yesterday.
