There is no need for anyone to be reassessed if they don't want to be. Everybody will be offered the opportunity, but there is absolutely no need, and as the carers survey does show that many are satisfied with what they've got, we don't anticipate everybody wanting to be reassessed. It's only people who want to be reassessed, who are unhappy with the arrangement, who will have the opportunity, and they will have the opportunity of an independent social worker. 

Secondly, the Welsh Government will provide additional funding to local authorities for the cost of independent social workers and additional care hours that may result from these independent assessments. This means that there can be no question of changes to a care and support package being a cost-cutting exercise. The underpinning principle in undertaking that independent assessment is that the result should be consistent with people's agreed well-being outcomes, and as there is no financial barrier, no-one needs to have less favourable care and support than they had under the Welsh independent living grant.

These arrangements acknowledge the historical entitlement of former recipients. It is a significant change of approach that ensures that the needs of former recipients will be fully met and that resources are no barrier to a full package of care and support. In fact, I believe that these new arrangements are much stronger than the Welsh independent living grant, and that is why we are seeking to amend the motion before us today. The Government amendment will enable the whole Assembly to get behind my plan to put something better in place. We will accept the Conservative amendment today.

Access to independent assessment and new resources to back up the potential outcomes of these assessments are at the core of this new approach, and it's because of these key features that Nathan Davies and his colleagues from the #SaveWILG campaign are supportive, in principle, of the approach that I intend to take. In fact, they have published their welcoming of what I'm saying here today. But, of course, we share a common interest in seeing that it's implemented properly, and that is one of the key issues.

To go back to some of the other questions that were raised during the debate: yes, we are committed to a social model and that is what we will be working on. I think Llyr asked if there could be a commission on disabled people. I can just assure him that we are totally committed to looking at the needs of disabled people and, in this job, I will be having that at the forefront of what we do. And I know there's been a few calls for me to apologise. Well, I don't intend to apologise today because this policy has come about in good faith. The recipients—people who are disabled who have been leading the campaign—don't want us to apologise. They're rejoicing at what we've achieved. So, I think that what we need to take forward today is to make sure that these new arrangements work and that we make sure that disabled people, this severely disabled group of people, have the best possible care they can have during these arrangements that we've put forward.
