Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. In the few minutes remaining, may I thank the Minister for his positive response on the timescale of the strategy? I understand the reasoning behind the funding issues as well, and I congratulate him on being flexible on bringing those responses forward earlier, because isolation and loneliness—as we’ve heard from everyone, there is agreement across the Chamber about the detrimental effects.

Lynne Neagle spoke about suicide and isolation, and the excellent work being done by the Samaritans, and the importance of community groups. Lynne also referred to the potential detrimental effects of social media, in contrast to what Lee Waters said about the positive, powerful side of developments in social media. We should be making more use of those developments. It does happen in places, as we heard from the Minister, and also from Julie Morgan. There is new technology that is being used to connect people, but at the end of the day, what gets rid of the idea of isolation and loneliness is talking to another living person.

I’ll never forget; a few years ago, I just greeted someone on the street in Swansea—I just said, 'hello' and she came to see me in the surgery the following week and that 'hello' was the only word a human being had said to her in that intervening week. In that week, she’d had nothing said to her from another person, and that’s always stayed with me. As we heard from Caroline Jones and others, people are so lonely that they go to see the nurse or the GP, as Jayne Bryant mentioned, and seeing that person, seeing those social services as well as the nurses, they see those people as a way of having a conversation—just someone to talk to. That shows the importance of communication with another living person.

Thanks to Angela Burns and Rhun for their contributions, and to Janet Finch-Saunders and Joyce Watson. It’s wonderful to have people who aren’t members of the committee making contributions as well—and there was a very powerful contribution from Dawn Bowden as well. So, congratulations to everyone who contributed, and I particularly congratulate the Minister. We’ve had a discussion of a very high standard this afternoon. I’m confident that we will see action in this area, having heard the positive response from the Minister. Thank you.
