The health strategy is the core of our programme. There has been a significant reduction in waiting lists. In my health board area, on which, as chairman, I can speak with more authority than in relation to other boards, our waiting lists have reduced by some 50%. I regard that as no mean achievement. The national treatment purchase fund, the uptake of which the Minister outlined, speaks for itself. This is a strategy for fundamental reform, unprecedented in its depth and vision and based on partnership with patients and the professionals who are most familiar with the needs of our health services.
