I thought you were looking at me. Yes, I’ll be very brief and I thank you for extending it. First Minister—sorry, I’ve done it now. I’ve promoted you now. [Laughter.] Cabinet Secretary, can I ask you—it will be a brief question—whether you agree that the importance of tackling mental health head on really starts in the workplace? Will you welcome the fact that the Assembly yesterday—the Commission—signed an understanding called the Time to Change pledge, which clearly sets out our vision that we will support anybody, whoever they are, if they have a need to access support in the workplace because of their own mental health well-being, and that we will always be there for them?
