Care and Support (Reform)

May I invite the Secretary of State to respond to his own challenge to rise above the party political ding-dong and recognise that if we are going to address this issue seriously, we first have to ask whether any additional Government funding is available for any of the solutions that are canvassed at the end of the Green Paper? It is the absence of additional Government funding that has prevented the emergence of consensus at earlier stages. Did he say—I think I heard him say this to my hon. Friend the Member for South Cambridgeshire (Mr. Lansley)—that no additional funding would be available from any source for any of the funding options?
