The spirit of the amendment is warranted in so far as previous Governments have let this area of health down. With regard to this Bill, however, if we are specifically stating a particular directorate we should set out every directorate, and top of the list should be finance given how much we spend in this area. I know the intention is honourable but I am not sure it will have a benefit singularly given all the other directorates on the management team and the amounts we spend.
