Well, unfortunately, even just a 1 per cent increase would only bring forward—I think it was about £55 million, which, clearly, is nowhere near enough money for what we need. What we need is an increase in our budget. You will know all of the difficulties—from being in the co-operation agreement, you will know all of the facts and figures around our budget. We know that we need further funding from the UK Government to enable us to meet not just our NHS workforce pay demands but others. 

We understand why people who've probably never, ever gone on strike before feel the need to do so, because after a decade of austerity, and we've now got the cost-of-living crisis, we've got predictions of further inflation and predictions of a recession, we absolutely understand the concerns of our workforce about their standards of living—they believe they might be eroded or are being eroded. So, we made it clear that, without additional funding from the UK Government, there are limits to how far we can go. But, the suggestion you have would not bring forward the amount of funding we need.
