I am just conscious of time. The trolley count the Minister is quoting, by the way, is a TrolleyGAR figure, which, as we know, excludes people who have not yet been admitted to the hospital even though they are on a trolley. It also excludes people who are on trolleys but outside the accident and emergency department. This is a whole other conversation, however, and I do not want to spend the last four minutes disputing figures.
