Mr. Damien McCallion:

In some cases, the clinical governance is provided across a range of services. The Deputy's point on primary care is a fair one, in that what we are seeing is that, through the investment in primary care, over 2,000 posts have gone into our enhanced community care and primary care programme in recent years. There is no question that is impacting on our other services such as disability services.
