At the end of February, it is Eating Disorders Awareness Week, and I was wondering whether you would be able to table a debate from the Government on the work that’s being done in Wales on eating disorders. I know and appreciate that we’ve agreed some more funding for eating disorders via the discussions between Plaid Cymru and Labour during the budget negotiations, and there still needs to be clarity around where that funding is going. So, I would welcome a debate on that.

I’d also like a debate or a statement on the progress that you’re making towards speeding up diagnosis of ovarian cancer. It seems to be one of those cancers that is diagnosed quite late and it can spread further if it’s not identified sooner. You said in 2013, as a Government, that you’d be looking to speed up diagnosis, and so I wondered whether we could have an update on that in the Chamber.
