Llywydd, the way in which allocations are determined across the Government begins with a series of bilateral discussions between me and all other Cabinet colleagues where colleagues make proposals to show how the key priorities of the Government can be met and what the financial implications of doing so would be. It's then my job through those discussions to try and make the sum of money we have, which as the Member will well know on this side of the Chamber we regard as insufficient to meet the needs of the Welsh population—how we can make the very best of the money that we have. Specifically in the health and social services field, we look to meet the commitments that we have made as a Government. That's why we have a new treatments fund; the Cabinet Secretary was able to explain the success of that fund earlier this week. That's why there is £7 million in the budget next year to press on with our determination to lift the capital ceiling in relation to residential care to £50,000.

And in the general health budget, we look to meet what we call the Nuffield gap. The Member will be familiar with the report that was published in the last Assembly that demonstrated that, provided the health service itself went on making the efficiency gains we have to ask of it, there would still be a need, because of demographic pressures and the fact that new treatments become available, for a £200 million additional investment from the Welsh Government. We will have met that in every year of this Assembly term and have gone well beyond it.
