If you will forgive me, Mr Speaker, I do not think that I will favour that question with an answer.

Will the Secretary of State expand on the support that organisations such as the Spinal Injuries Association can expect through specialised commissioning?

I believe that as a result of our proposals the NHS commissioning board will be able to provide more consistency in much specialised commissioning, and I hope that that will apply to people with spinal injuries. I am well acquainted with the work of the Spinal Injuries Association: I think that it has done terrific work, and we have already worked closely with it in trying to ensure that we improve commissioning and services for those with spinal injuries.
