But, of course, it isn't just Diamond who's been highlighting some of these issues. In terms of targeting specific skills gaps, the evaluation of the Seren network suggested that, and I quote, 

'The historical downward trend in the number of Welsh domiciled applicants studying for Medicine would suggest that there may be a need for targeted intervention to support students applying for specific, competitive university degree places.'

And that evaluation recommended that consideration be given to agreeing a definitive list annually of universities' departments and courses to be included in the Seren network, which could include all medicine, dentistry and veterinary courses. 

Now, targeting young people for these particular courses, of course, is important, but doing so in conjunction with the kinds of incentives that Diamond and others have been talking about is something that I think we need to pursue. That, of course, would as well strengthen our higher education institutions, of course, in that it would ensure a greater number of students within their establishments. And the more students we can encourage to stay in Wales, then, clearly, not only does that benefit the HE sector, but it benefits the Welsh economy as well.
