Well, we've a whole series of regional community cohesion co-ordinators, who have a range of duties amongst them, and one of their main duties is actually to make sure that all of the other agencies collaborate properly and come together with this agenda.

So, one of the things that I'll be doing is looking to see how those co-ordinators have worked in the past, to make sure that all of the funding that's available for a number of issues around community cohesion—loneliness is certainly one of them, isolation of older women, for example, in communities is a huge issue—to make sure that we make the very best of the combined set of programmes that we have across a range of portfolios in the Government, to make sure that we tackle some of those.

In terms of some of my own responsibilities, some of the issues that the Member has raised with me over the years have been around broadband and so on. Actually there is a big role to play in getting older people to be included digitally to make sure that they have things such as the ability to Skype grandchildren and so on, which although not any substitute for personal interaction, nevertheless, can assist greatly in terms of isolation from family. Inclusion in day-to-day activity can make a real difference to the way that somebody interacts with their family even if they're further away. So, we have taken that into account very much in designing some of those programmes. But I will be working with the co-ordinators to make sure that they are across all of those areas of cohesion.

In terms of the budget, I am not in a position to make any promises around the budget at this point, because I've yet to review all of the aspects of my portfolio that impacts on that, but I'm more than happy to report back once I've done so.
