You just mentioned Western Bay there, and I’m sure you’re aware that the Swansea bay city deal is very well placed to nurture companies who want to actually develop these tech interventions for reablement and other social care, particularly at home. The opportunity has already been spotted. I’m just wondering, then, what conversations you might have had with the Cabinet Secretary for the Economy and Infrastructure to ensure that any new companies showing an interest in this area of activity are looking favourably on the Swansea bay city deal area, rather than elsewhere. I think it would be of great comfort to us all to know that isn’t just an opportunity to benefit patients, but actually staff and the economy as well. Thank you.
