Bethan Jenkins brings a very important point to the Assembly this afternoon in terms of, I’m sure, all of us being engaged and recognising the role of carers as we look at Carers Week. But, specifically, you’re focusing on young carers and, of course, their needs are so often hidden and not understood unless we have the engagement, not only active engagement of schools—. And, indeed, we’ve already reflected on the role of school nurses, which is very relevant, I think, as well to the point you make particularly in terms of the responsibilities the young carers have. So, that is certainly something that I will discuss with the appropriate Cabinet Secretary and Minister in terms of taking on board those points.
