Of course. Apologies, Deputy Presiding Officer.

Therefore, can I finally thank the committee and the Chair again for their extensive engagement and their raising awareness of these issues? I also welcome the health committee's work that they're currently doing on suicide prevention, which is an important element to sit alongside this work. Deputy Presiding Officer, we can't allow any child or young person to feel that they have no-one to turn to, and I will, with Cabinet colleagues, work with the committee to secure the emotional and mental health support provision that we know we all need and we all need to deliver soon.
