I thank the Member for her thoughtful contribution again. I think it’s a priority of any Government that preventing conflict at all costs is something that we should consider, and I fully support the Member’s views on that. Of course, the armed forces are something that we have and that we should be very proud of, and we should support them through active service and post-service. I’m very keen to see what we can do in Wales to do that.

I haven’t met the armed services group yet since taking the post, but I have an early meeting in July, and I will consider the Member’s points for an agenda item. I think there are options such as support mechanisms like men’s sheds, which is one example, but volunteering, which is about access to social inclusion, is something that’s really critical when people leave the armed forces. It is a family and people are cajoled and supported in that mechanism. When you leave and go into civvy street, it’s a very, very different world, and we’re making sure that we can support them through the Government, but also there are some really good support projects in private sector companies as well, recognising the worth of the armed forces, both when they were working as an active soldier or, now, on exit.

I think the issue of service gaps is something that I’m very keen to understand better, too. I think the Royal British Legion has called for recognition of where armed forces ex-service personnel actually live now. There are some issues still around that programme, which we’re discussing with the Royal British Legion, but I think it’s really important that local authorities and service providers know where there are potentially vulnerable people, where we can add value to where they live and how we can support them better. So, it is something that I’m looking at in particular. The Member is right to say that, sometimes, when people are presented with a very different situation from what they’re used to, they do recoil and they start to look inwards, and they don’t access services externally, and that can lead to a very difficult pathway for them. But, knowing that there is a vulnerable adult or a person who has dealt with extreme circumstances, sometimes, by being in the military services, is something where we should be, as public services, proactive in trying to support members who wish to have that support given to them. But, it’s something the Member raises well today, and I will consider that with the armed forces group.
