I thank the First Minister for that response. I want to make the First Minister aware that a huge number of the staff at the DWP office in Heath in my constituency are absolutely filled with uncertainty and concern at the moment. Many of them are disabled, many of them have caring responsibilities, and some of them will have to travel up to three buses to get the new location, not yet specifically specified, in Nantgarw. This is where other staff will be relocated from other parts of Wales. Could he ensure that their concerns are conveyed to the DWP so that they're not left to this feeling of uncertainty about not knowing what's happening and what's going to happen about the fact that they're going to have to travel so much further and for such a longer time? Many of them will not be able to take up the jobs in Nantgarw.
