We will do it. Every month there will be progress and by the end of the lifetime of the Government people will get a fair day's wage for a fair day's effort. More than ¤1 billion has been pumped in, which is adequate to provide support through the myriad NGOs around the country who are doing that work. Those NGOs will be accountable and the bonuses they have paid themselves, through voluntary collections and which they refuse to declare to the Government, will be tidied up. We will see be a proper, transparent, accountable health service.
