My proposal relates to infrastructural projects that this country needs, have a long-term return, add to employment creation and, in particular, address the regional balance, which Mr. Moran's predecessor and namesake was concerned about. These could be in public transport or health projects. The capital expenditure in the health field is behind schedule. I want to be clear - I do not want to see a relaxing of the rules for day-to-day expenditure, but what are the witnesses' proposals on infrastructural projects?
