Thank you for the question. We have, as Neil will know, prioritised social care as a sector of strategic national importance, and the commitment is being underpinned by extra funding: a total of £55 million of recurrent additional funding has been provided to local authorities for use in social services in 2017-18, and we're also, of course, committed to doubling the capital people can keep when entering residential care to £50,000. Through the integrated care fund, we are providing £60 million for the delivery of integrated care across Wales, and this includes funding for reablement services, support for timely and effective discharges from hospital, and integrated care teams in mid and west Wales.
