I’d like to start by declaring that my wife is an employee of Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Local Health Board. Cabinet Secretary, you’ve highlighted some of the good aspects that occur, as well as highlighting the targeted intervention for ABMU in unscheduled care and cancer services. What monitoring will you be undertaking to ensure that, as we see, hopefully, progress in those targeted areas, we do not see a slip in other areas to compensate for it? When will you actually be looking at producing reports and progress reports for us so that we can see how it is actually working? We do have the end-of-year figures, but we want to see progress throughout the year, so will we be having updates in the Assembly? Can you also tell us what action you’ve taken, because some of the concerns clearly are related to resource issues? Will you be offering support that includes and introduces more resources to some of those boards to allow them to tackle those issues that you’ve identified?
