However, I am happy to note the action that the Executive has taken on a range of other issues, including early action on deficit build-up; transparency in financial management below board level in the reorganised structure; deadlines for the full implementation of partnership agreements; communications in partnership with pharmacists to ensure modern and accurate accounting systems; the development of partnership agreements; and the monitoring of the financial processes in the NHS and the pressures on the NHS, to which the Executive has taken a very positive approach.
