I have a very good relationship, I have to say, with Michael Moore and have a very high degree of regard for the work he does. But just to reiterate—and I would be happy to clarify this with him—again, there have been no cuts to the flexible funds as announced in the budget. Those references to those funds in the budget are under consideration at the moment. Indeed, it is disappointing that those on the other side would choose to scaremonger about these programs when they should know—if they had been listening they would know full well—that no decisions have been taken around the changes to funding arrangements for those funds. I reiterate again that the minister has said she will be working very closely across the sector to ensure that we get that service delivery that is expected.
