Thank you for taking an intervention. One of the main findings of this report, of course, is that disabled people are falling further behind and being denied the right to independent living. Now, you listed some of the things that you've done. Another thing that you have done as a Government, contrary to your own party policy, of course, is to do away with the Welsh independent living grant. Now, there have been many accounts of disabled people falling behind, so can you give this Assembly a cast-iron guarantee that those who have been in receipt of the Welsh independent living fund will not be a single penny worse off following your decision?
