Thank you, Rhun. The Health Foundation report recently stated that the need for social care funding was going to double in the next 13 years. Don’t you think we should be planning now, not waiting for the next few years and then suddenly having to find all this funding? I do appreciate that £50 million has been put in to help us with winter preparedness, but the fundamental basis is, if this was a business, you wouldn’t allow it to go that length of time—you would start to plan, and you would start to fund it now. Would you agree?
