Mr. Bernard Gloster:

It is a very mature thing in a modern-day healthcare system, when you are planning something like a major change programme in stroke or heart health, that you plan ahead and plan over a succession of four years to recruit for a number of jobs. However, you have to wait every year for the Vote to see if you are able to fund that and, if so, how much of it you can fund. A lot of that has been funded. More is expected, but a cut, to me, is when you have something you are supposed to have and it is taken away.
