We look to work with all third sector organisations who do so much work in helping older people. The Member’s right to say that isolation and loneliness is a particular issue, particularly in these days when families have moved away, and it does have a detrimental effect not just on people’s mental health but, it seems, on their physical health as well. We do want to work with Age Cymru. I commend what Age Cymru are doing to ensure that isolation, firstly, is recognised as a problem, and, secondly, that solutions are found to that problem.
