Well, we're very interested in this model as well, here in the Welsh Conservatives, and I hope that you'll be able to update us on the work of the pilots over these next two years. It's only one model, of course. You'll be aware of one model of particular interest to me, and that's the Neath primary care hub one, which was supported by Welsh Government Pacesetter money in 2016, and which had the thumbs up from GPs, including the royal college, as well as patients. I'm just wondering if you can give us some sort of indication of what happens to the evaluations of these various trials, and confirm whether the integrated care fund can be used to move a successful pilot into a sustainable fixture. Or is it a bit more of a case that all partners need to chip in to an investment pot in order to make those pilots into something that lasts a bit longer—successful ones?
