As I've already noted, we have our concerns about the nature of the citizen voice body that the Government is proposing to set up. But if it is going to be set up, then we have to ensure that it has the ability to operate in a way that has force and power behind it. And, of course, having the appropriate level of resources is vital in that.

Once again, I think that I expect the Government to argue that there's no need for what the amendments call for, because the Minister doesn't have any intention to not provide the resources needed by the new body. But, of course, this legislation doesn't only relate to today's Government, but this legislation is going to commit Governments in the future, and we need assurances for the future. We don't have any assurance about what the health Ministers of the future will do, and, of course, the Minister will be very aware that bodies that are critical of the Government are ones that always carry the risk in terms of losing their funding. So, we need the assurance that's provided by these amendments.
