Indeed. Thank you very much. Thank you for that intervention.

Now, last year—. By the way, this assessment also includes the respite care reference in point 5 of the original motion, and I've been taking actions to ensure that these enhanced rights are realised, and that's what this is about. Now, last year, I announced £3 million of new, recurring funding to support local authorities to provide additional respite for carers, including young carers, who have been mentioned. And with regard to amendment 7, this supports local authorities to develop additional respite care based on the needs of carers in their area. They are best placed to judge how this should be used. But, also, regional partnership boards can also use the integrated care fund to support carers. We've made £50 million revenue funding available in 2018-19, and carers are recognised as one of the core groups that this funding should go towards.

In relation to point 4 of the original motion, Welsh Government is committed to monitoring the impact of the social services and well-being Act, as I said, and publishing data and making it more robust. The first annual report I referred to showed that not enough carers are currently accessing assessments. So, knowing this, and based on engagement with carers and the representative organisations, I published three national priorities for carers in Wales. They were: supporting life alongside caring, identifying and recognising carers, and providing information, advice and assistance to carers. Alongside that, I committed in excess of £1 million in 2018-19 to support progress against these national priorities. But, in addition, a ministerial advisory group for carers will provide now a national forum to steer the delivery of improvements for carers and provide a cross-sector response to the challenges that carers face. With reference to amendment 5, and in recognition of the issues affecting young carers, we have invited Children in Wales, the organisation that Welsh Government fund to run the young carers network, and the children's commissioner, to join this group. I will be attending the first meeting, which will meet this month, and we'll be receiving regular updates from the ministerial group.

Now, the impacts of caring are seen in many various parts of people's lives. So, support for carers has got to be cross-departmental, cross-Government. So, with reference to point 3 of the original motion, we know that young carers face additional barriers to education, and they include financial barriers. So, I am therefore delighted that changes made following the Diamond review of higher education funding and student finance means that from 2018-19 every student will be entitled to financial support equivalent to the national living wage while they study. But Welsh Government has also been working, as has been mentioned by Vikki and others, closely with schools and colleges to ensure that young carers, who may have more absences than their peers, are not disadvantaged in accessing educational grants. Carers can be confident that they will receive appropriate financial support whilst studying.

Moving now to amendment 3, we do recognise the difficulties all carers can face in balancing a job against the demands of being an unpaid carer. We have awarded funding to Carers Wales in 2018-19 for the new Employers for Carers Wales hub, which I was pleased to launch this morning. This project will support employers big and small across Wales to create a more carer-friendly workplace through one-to-one support, training and events. For young adult carers entering the workforce, the support offered by Careers Wales should be bespoke to the individual. For young carers, advice should take account of caring responsibilities whilst focusing on options available—raising aspirations, building confidence and supporting longer-term planning.

If I can turn to amendment 6, young carers and young adult carers have expressed a strong interest in the young carers ID card. Now, Welsh Government is currently funding Carers Trust—. I was delighted, by the way, to meet with the YMCA with Bethan last week—I'll turn to that in a moment. But we are currently funding Carers Trust to support the development of these cards. The ID cards, which will prevent young people having to repeatedly disclose information about their role as a carer and explain, and to support them to access support, will be designed with young carers and tested with professionals, including teachers, doctors and pharmacists. [Interruption.] If I can just turn to some of the detail, because it's—. The YMCA piece of work was very useful in itself, but this is beyond that. It's about providing Welsh Government with a range of options for the design of the national ID card, developed with young carers, tested with a range of professionals, producing the bilingual electronic toolkit, guidance and resources, facilitating a quarterly national round-table for carers services to enable troubleshooting, peer-to-peer support, learning, facilitating the national process for young carers to have the ability to anonymously feed back their experiences of applying for and using an ID card, and providing quarterly reports then to Welsh Government and carer services—[Interruption.] I'm against time, Bethan. I'm really sorry. I'd love to, but I'm against time. We're promoting the young carers ID card through network partners and social media channels, and regular progress reports will be presented for the attention of the ministerial advisory group for carers.

Now, a couple of other things in closing. I've spoken to the Cabinet Secretary for Economy and Transport, who's very keen to work with me to examine existing and potential future support available to help young carers in Wales with transport costs and to explore whether this could be linked, indeed, to the ID card. So, I would urge Members to support amendment 1 to the main motion, but also, in the spirit that this debate has been held in, and in a spirit of cross-party support in this Carers Week, amendments 4, 6, 8 and 9. Some are not perfect, but the spirit and the intention is good and we can support them.

I'm up against time, so—
