Simon, you've got my undertaking that all that I can share with Members of the Assembly, I will. First of all, it needs to go to CSSIW for their consideration. I'll need to see it first as well, but in the interest of transparency, I will be keen to make sure that everything that I can share with Assembly Members is shared because it's also important, in doing that, that we can give assurance of what has been done, but also look at the progress that still needs to be made, frankly, as well.

In terms of Bodlondeb care home, as I mentioned in my previous response, this has been a very difficult time when these decisions were being made, but it isn't for Welsh Government Ministers to step directly into the fray and determine what should actually be an assessment of local needs by the providers there, on the ground, by the local authority. But I'm sure they will have heard his concerns once again, and I think all of us are focused on the needs of those individuals who previously were in Bodlondeb, but also on the future needs of individuals who will also need care provision in that area.
