Can I thank the Member for his comments? Of course, it is right to say that when politicians are off to spend more time with their families it's a euphemism for being sacked. [Laughter.] So, hopefully that's not the case yet today.

Of course, if we look at the Families First programme, we've invested over £290 million in that programme since it was introduced. That is designed to provide a coherent level of support for families and, indeed, for children. Of course, we look to work with any organisation that supports the Welsh Government's view of positive parenting, because we know that that can deliver the best outcomes for children and parents.
