Mr. Paul Reid:
I fully accept that having people on waiting lists for procedures and operations, delays in emergency departments and additional requests for services for home helps are significant pressures on the system. What I want to do in the coming years is direct the appropriate funds in order that we will meet those challenges better than we have ever met them.
