Thank you for that answer, but I wonder if you are intending to—or are working with the Older People’s Commissioner for Wales? Because, of course, you recently published a report that was entitled ‘GP Services in Wales: The Perspective of Older People’, and it highlighted that far too many of the older population find making an appointment challenging, find the GP service inflexible and unresponsive to their individual needs and circumstances, don’t recognise the difficulties they have in accessing or being IT literate, or using information technology communication methods. So, I just wonder what you and your Government are doing to ensure that older people do not feel that the one place that they should really be able to access with ease is actually being slowly walled off from them.
