First Minister, I noticed that one of the items on the agenda for the British-Irish Council meeting was that of the support that’s required by carers across Wales and, in particular, that young and older carers were considered. Can you tell me: was any progress made on cross-governmental agreement, in terms of an approach to providing guaranteed rights to respite for carers? This is something that my party, of course, proposed in our manifesto in advance of the Welsh Assembly elections. When you speak to carers, there’s one thing that they’re all asking for, and that is a break at times to recharge their batteries.
