People read that quote and think he's asking for money -He could equally be suggesting similar levels of funding as now, but for a longer period
For.example, there are local authorities that issue one year ENCTS settlements. I imagine in an area such as the East Riding, that is a critical income stream. If they only issue one year settlements, there is no way EYMS can plan for new services 24/36 months in the future.
