Could I thank the Member for his support? The Member has been tireless in campaigning to improve autism services throughout his time here, and he has done a wonderful job in raising these issues as chair of the cross-party group on autism. He's someone who has been advocating a bespoke Bill for many, many years so that we see the improvements required in all parts of Wales. His energy, his enthusiasm, his dedication, his commitment have actually been second to none. I've welcomed the invitation through the Member to address the cross-party group on autism, and it's given me a better understanding of some of the issues facing people living with autism.

I think the Member is absolutely right. We have received substantial and significant evidence, not just throughout the development of this Bill, but we have received significant evidence over the last few years that people want to see legislation in this area because they do believe that, by introducing a piece of legislation, we can underpin these services. So it is absolutely crucial, in my view, that we see this piece of legislation passed through this place, so that we make sure that services are put on a statutory footing, so that we make sure that the services are consistent across Wales. Because that's what we're hearing all the time—the inconsistency that some services are available, but in other areas, services are not available. By introducing this legislation we will make sure that there will be consistency of services throughout Wales.

The Member has given a number of examples and he has also given us a number of people's experiences where improvements have not been met, and that's why it is important that we actually get this right, and that's why it is important that we see this piece of legislation being passed by this place.
