Thank you very much, Presiding Officer. First Minister, the Government announced last week that an extra £50 million was to be made available for winter pressures—something we hope will actually alleviate some of the pressures that the acute or primary sectors faced this summer, so that people don’t have the waits they’ve historically had to endure. One of the things that people do dread undertaking these days is ringing their local GP surgery to try to get an appointment, especially an appointment on that particular day, because obviously the demand is so great. Can you tell me exactly how that £50 million or what part of that £50 million will go into general practice to alleviate the pressures that general practice in particular is facing in accommodating the extra demand that it is facing?
