In my last 30 seconds I wish to ask the Minister about nurses' pay. It is a budgetary issue and, as members of the Committee on Budgetary Oversight, we should be allowed to address it. Strike action has been notified. How will the Minister deal with the issue? Is he willing to engage directly with the nurses' union on it? How does he propose to resolve it?
