Thank you for your statement, Minister. The Regulation and Inspection of Social Care (Wales) Act 2016 and the wider Social Services and Well-Being (Wales) Act 2014 are amongst the greatest achievements of this institution. The RISC Act should ensure that the appalling abuse exposed by Operation Jasmine can never happen again. We are ensuring that all those who work in the care sector have the necessary skills and training and ensuring that service providers are fit and proper to undertake that provision. This is truly a journey of transformation, and as we enter its third phase, I would like to put on record my thanks to all those working in social care for the positive approach to this transformation.

I look forward to working with you, Minister, to deliver all the improvements envisioned in the Act, particularly the market stability provisions. As we look to the future, unfortunately more and more of us will be reliant on care. A healthy and vibrant care home sector will be essential. Minister, ahead of the implementation of the market stability provisions, what assessments, if any, have been made of the current state of the care home sector?

Finally, Minister, I welcome the decision to allow voluntary registration of residential care workers from 2020. So, can you tell us what proportion of the domiciliary care workforce has chosen to voluntarily register?

Once again, I thank you for your ongoing work, and that of your predecessor, Rebecca Evans, to deliver improvements to social care in Wales, and would like to assure you that you have my support in transforming social care in Wales. Thank you. Diolch yn fawr.
