Health Service: Statements.
I ask the Minister of State to take the message back to his own party and the broader message back to the Government that we cannot have Swedish levels of health care with Texan levels of tax. The reality we must address is that we cannot afford what we are seeking with current levels of taxation. I have been told that, as a negotiator of national agreements, I am perhaps not clear on that issue, but I am 100% clear that we need more investment.
