Thank you for that. I think there were four broad questions there. On whether this award is the answer to the range of challenges that you've set out regarding recruitment and retention, on its own, no, of course it is not, but the award itself is an important part of the answer about encouraging doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals to train, work and live in Wales. It's part of a suite of measures, it's part of the approach that we take and the genuine social partnership we have, and not just with doctors and dentists, but it's consistent with the approach that we took with our 'Agenda for Change' staff, where we listened to what the independent body had to say, where there were negotiations between staff side and employers, and we managed to find a way to invest in their pay, because, as you will know, Angela Burns, the UK Treasury did not provide additional funding to cover the independent review body's recommendations. We had to invest additional Welsh Government resources in this pay deal, as in the 'Agenda for Change' one. So, we have made a deliberate choice, with Welsh Government resources. That is a Welsh Labour choice that I am proud to have made.

On locum pay, locum pay is different. It is generally negotiated outside normal contractual arrangements, but I'll have more to say on locum pay later in the year in reporting the impact of the cap that I introduced in Wales and its impact upon variable pay across the national health service—again, a measure that I took last year—and I'm more than happy to report back to Members on the impact of that after a full year of operation.

On consultant and specialist doctors' pay, I'm happy to confirm that this is a 2 per cent base increase in the salary of doctors and dentists, including doctors in training and consultants. There's an additional 2 per cent for general practice. There is also an additional 1.5 per cent for specialist doctors. So, we are dealing with the recommendations that we have been provided with.

On your point about avoiding unhelpful internal competition, the way in which you phrased the question suggests that we should have simply followed what England or Scotland did when they chose, having received the independent review body's advice, not to implement it. They chose to impose a cut compared to the review body's recommendation, and your colleagues in England chose not only to cut the recommendation, they chose to implement it from October rather than the April that it was recommended from. I have to say that, in your press release, it was rather mean spirited and not wholly accurate to suggest that we had held this up. We have had a genuine conversation in partnership with the British Medical Association and the BDA and I am pleased to confirm that this Welsh Government does respect the recommendations of independent pay review bodies, and we have invested in our staff, in the future of our health service, and there could not be a clearer contrast between this Welsh Labour Government and the Tories across our border.
