Well, Bethan Jenkins raises two matters, the first of which is a matter for ABM university health board, and of course it would be inappropriate to comment on that matter, which is for them to deal with. You’ve raised it today, so it has had that airing, but it is a matter for the health board to deal with and resolve.

Your second matter is of course specifically a matter for the local authority, but I do think you are absolutely right on the opportunities that we’ve got now with the forthcoming ALN Bill. There was a great deal of consultation and discussion in the previous and fourth Assembly, leading up to this ALN Bill, and I know that the Minister, and indeed the committee, are looking forward to having the opportunity to scrutinise, to take forward what will be another piece of pioneering legislation, specifically focusing on those needs in terms of professional education.
