Mr. Bernard Gloster:

To be fair, if Deputy Lahart wants to use the word "cut", it is a cut in the pace of development. I have not been asked by the Minister, the Secretary General or the Government to cut the number of staff, home help hours provided, open beds, GPs or clinical services to try to close the gap in the deficit. I have not been asked to do that. It is important to be fair. That is what I mean when I say I have not been asked to make cuts.
