how services can manage supply and demand. i think that is important. resources are scarce these days. is about working more efficiently and smarter with what we have. and smarter with what we have. the situation going to get worse or better? that is a difficult one to... to... hesitation is that it is going to get worse. get worse. talking about funding being tight, and resources being scarce. things are not changed, the services are at a critical point. are at a critical point. things to change, really, so that people are moving forward. people are moving forward. it is investment in all of those professions linked together. professions linked together. a whole systems approach. systems approach. thank you for your candid thoughts and analysis. candid thoughts and analysis. yes, thank you. it‘s 7:18am and you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news.
