I thank Julie Morgan for that question and acknowledge that I know the Cabinet Secretary for health would also acknowledge your close involvement and support, particularly for those who have been affected—and the Haemophilia Wales group has welcomed the statement issued last week. And, of course, it does bring an end to uncertainty, as the Member says, about the level of financial support people affected by contaminated blood will receive from the Welsh Government in the future. But, I think, as you say, the importance in terms of now looking forward to responses in terms of work that will be done and taken forward is important—those future arrangements; the seeking of further views—and I'm sure the Cabinet Secretary will want to return to make sure that this is reported back to the Assembly and Senedd appropriately.
