There are particular grants, and I certainly welcome any additional funding that finds its way into local government budgets, but unless we look at the overall local government budget and give them the freedom to make spending decisions themselves, they will not be able to face up to that overall squeeze on them, and that will end up putting more pressure on mental health services, on care. 

So, let me wrap up. This is not sustainable. I know, in my council area, reserves are rapidly running out. They need a strategy now to build up their reserves, and they can't see past next year, when they're concerned that things will get even worse than they are now. It is not sustainable, and I'm not willing to stop calling on this Government to seek those additional funds that local government needs. Some councils may have been persuaded not to make any more noise at this point in time, in order to take the pressure off this Minister and his Government, but I'm not ready to give up just yet.
