Yes; the hon. Gentleman is a man after my own heart. The outcomes from the NCS are incredibly positive, and that will always be at the forefront of our minds.
Sir Desmond Swayne (New Forest West) (Con)
When we conceived the NCS, the ambition was that it would be so good that it would become universal. Does that still hold?
Matt Hancock
I would like it to become universal, but we are not requiring it to be universal because we want people to want to be on the programme. However, I think the message is increasingly getting out there that this should be done.
