In regard to the specific items agreed in the Haddington Road agreement - for example, Sunday pay for those affected by it - if it turns out later in the year, or early next year, that the Minister is not getting the savings he requires, could this section be used by various Ministers? If the Minister for Health has a deficit this year, as he did last year, could he forget the provision in the Haddington Road agreement, which guarantees Sunday pay, and cut it under this section?
