'Yes' is the simple answer, because I've actually discussed this matter yesterday with the chief executive of NHS Wales, so this is a matter that was on my mind before the topical question, because I am obviously concerned to make sure that the works are safe and that there is adequate monitoring of the risks and that risks are still acceptable, both to the public purse and obviously the delivery of the much-needed work that is being undertaken. No-one should be blasé either about the risks or indeed about the potential to simply up sticks and move somewhere else; there would be significant delay and it would affect the ability of the health service to meet its obligations, as well, of course, as the workers and uncertainty around their employment. So, yes, we will continue to monitor the performance of the contract, we will continue to be concerned about the financial health of the company and making sure that we protect the value that the public obviously want us to have oversight of to make sure that the appropriate works are delivered. And I recognise, as the local Member, that you will continue to keep a close watch on this matter too.
