Thank you for your comments. As I said, assertive and charming—probably more assertive than charming, sometimes. But, no, seriously, it’s been important to see local Members standing up for their communities over a long and a difficult period and I do recognise that. So, the decision has real impact, you’re absolutely right, and, as I tried to make clear yesterday and today, across the whole of south Wales—it’s not just a Gwent decision. You’re right to remind Members that the transport study that was done sees this as the most appropriate site. We’re not going to go back and re-look at that again. This is the decision. It’s about how we make that access real now as well, and you are right, of course, to point out that it’s for patients and visitors to have access there that is convenient and allows them to see loved ones and friends.

On your point about work starting, it’s very much in my mind that I want this project to be visible and happening, and to achieve the timescale provided now for it being up and running. In fact, the chief exec of the health board indicated yesterday that she thought that work may be able to start again on that site in about spring next year. So, it’s not a long pause, even with some re-tendering that needs to be done. But I really do want to re-emphasise a point that you make as well about procurement. It’s a huge capital investment that we’re making, and there has got to be a return—and a proper return—during the construction phase that people can understand and that people can see. People should know that local labour is being used on the site, and local apprentices. There’s a challenge there about making sure that there’s enough labour locally to be able to deliver that, actually. So, it is about maximising the opportunity.

Finally, I want to again reinforce the point about recruitment. This is a real opportunity to recruit people to a model of care that people have called for, that clinicians fully support, and it’s about making those opportunities real and how that affects the whole healthcare system—something that is really joined up and is being built for the future, with a design and a plan that clinicians support, and the public overwhelmingly support too. I’m very grateful for your continued challenge. It’s part of the deal to be in Government to have to deal with local representatives, and I’m sure that people in Torfaen know what an assertive champion they have.
