Cabinet Secretary, as you're already aware, Hywel Dda university health board will shortly be consulting on its proposals to transform services in west Wales. As you know, I strongly oppose any proposals that would result in services at Withybush hospital being downgraded, or the hospital being closed down completely, which as you know the health board has not ruled out. 

In the circumstances, could you confirm for the record today that you've held discussions with the Hywel Dda university health board regarding this consultation? And could you also confirm that the Welsh Government has guaranteed that funding will be made available for whichever options the local health board decides to issue for consultation? Because if this is not the case, then what is the point of consulting on any options at all?
