Good afternoon, First Minister. May I, first of all, reinforce Julie Morgan’s calls for that national public inquiry? I think that’s very important. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development recently reported on the quality of the UK health services, which recommended the need to establish a set of key health data and quality indicators for all of the UK health systems, so we can benchmark ourselves effectively using agreed common definitions and facilitate quality. I wonder, First Minister, what discussions you or your Cabinet colleagues have had with your counterparts in the other devolved nations, and Westminster, to facilitate this recommendation so that we can really judge ourselves on a peer-to-peer basis.
