Would it be helpful if we wrote to the Department saying that in terms of value for money, in the criteria for the assessment of need, greater focus should be on serving the population?

I am sure the Deputy has studied this better than me, but I read those six points because I remember the issue being raised at a previous meeting. The point that jumped out at me was that population is not mentioned within the marking scheme. The marking scheme needs to take population on board.
