Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:07 pm on 12 March 2019.
Well, I thank Mark Isherwood for that supplementary question and thank him as well for the work that he does as chair of the cross-party group on funerals and bereavement care, which gives us access to some of the information that helps us in developing the services that we provide in this area. Now, he will know, I'm sure, that the Welsh Government has recently commissioned a piece of work funded through the end-of-life care board, and that is a scoping study into the breadth of bereavement care services in Wales. The board has asked Marie Curie and Cardiff University to lead on that study. It begins by mapping existing support and then identifying areas where further services are needed. We can undertake to make sure that the points the Member has raised today are fed into that study.
