Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I would like to start by thanking the Cabinet Secretary, first of all, for allowing me to receive a helpful technical brief on these Orders in the past week.

I only have a few questions this afternoon. Under the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, it is a requirement for public health bodies to produce an annual report that shows their progress according to their local well-being plans. Even though the future generations commissioner has been included under this Order, local authorities haven’t been included, but they are responsible for the statistics. So, how is the Government going to ensure that the statistics contained in these reports conform to the standard of being independent and robust, as outlined in this Order? And does the Welsh Government have any plans for the future to ensure that local authorities, which publish these statistics, will also comply with this code of practice with regard to official statistics?

Of course, the other matter of importance is the decision to exit the European Union, and this will have an impact on the statistics available—for example, the health figures, the agriculture figures and those regarding the economy. For example, it is only the European Union that gathers GDP data on the regional level or sub-member state level, and it is important that these figures continue to be gathered following our exit from the EU. But also, given that we will have to design new regional schemes and strategies—and I understand that there will be a statement forthcoming from the Government—there's an opportunity to here for us to look again at the statistics with regard to the regions in Wales to ensure that they do genuinely represent genuine wealth. So, how does the Government intend to ensure that these statistics are available and are gathered and published following our exit from the European Union? And is there an intention to reconsider realigning these statistical regions to ensure that any analysis of data that is made for public policy is done on the basis of meaningful regions?

Finally, Deputy Presiding Officer, I see that health boards aren’t included under this Order either, and yet the Velindre NHS Trust has been included. Now, it is a policy by the majority of parties within the Assembly that all patients the length and breadth of Wales should be able to receive meaningful statistics. Over the past year, figures have shown that the Government has failed to achieve this, but the response of the Government is that the data that is collected by the health boards is insufficient and not good enough, and that health bodies aren’t certain what the definition of, for example, a key worker is, or aren’t gathering the data at all. So, that’s an example of the need to bring all of the health boards under the auspices of this Order in future to ensure that there is statistical consistency the length and breadth of the nation. Do you agree that this will be a way forward, and are you open to including all of the health boards under the Order in future to ensure a high standard of data available for everyone in the nation?
