Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’ll let the Minister give some of the detail, but for the record, once again, the fact is that previous governments did initiate action. A zero-based review exercise was undertaken. A plan was being put together on how to move forward on this file to the point where FMBS got directly involved and remains involved to date.
In the other areas of the breakdown of services the Member is quite correct. When you look at the fact that we’ve had as much concern as Members of the Assembly about reducing to the levels we have, there’d be even a greater level of concern if we were to turn this back to health authorities and tell them to live within their means totally before we came up with a plan as to how to recover from this. That exercise is ongoing at this time.
For the actual detail the Member has asked for, I’ll have the Minister of Health and Social Services respond.
