I’m happy to confirm yet again, as I’ve done in every interview and every question that I’ve been asked about on this, that bills will get paid, staff will get paid and we will not see treatments interrupted as a result of the position of these health boards. We’ll cover this money from the centre, but we’ll make sure that there’s clarity in the amount of overspend from each of these health boards individually. And in terms of the future, well, of course, we’re going through the planning round for the year ahead. And so, health boards that are in a different position, and trusts, will have their integrated medium-term plans approved. There’ll be greater differentiation between those that are approved organisations, and those that are going through the escalation process, and are either in targeted intervention or special measures. There’s got to be clarity about where each health board stands and where each trust stands, and I will provide that.

I’m saying nothing to Members today that I have not already said to people leading and running these organisations, and I am having the same conversation in public as in private about the need to deliver significant financial improvement, and to deal with the need to transform our services as well. And I will, of course, update Members again on the progress in the financial management position and also the service position as well. I will do so when I come back to report on those IMTPs that are approved, and those that are not, and the measures that we are taking in supporting and challenging those organisations that are currently not in a position where I can, or will, approve an integrated medium-term plan.
