I had the opportunity to visit the Bobath centre the day after the launch of the register and it was part of the discussions that we had. So, I'm interested in the evidence base that's going to be generated from the work in Powys, and it's been really helpful that there's been engagement with a range of different people in trying to create that in the first place, because part of what we need to do is to make sure that in creating something initially, it's not created in a way that makes it incompatible with the way you deliver the rest of health and care. That's why they're looking to make sure that it's compatible with the Welsh community care information system, otherwise known as WCCIS. So, that's been really helpful.

As we learn more about the project that is starting in Powys, we'll then have an understanding not only of the benefit, to make sure it's actually properly integrated in the way we want to deliver health and care, but then the choices, if we're going to then roll that out successfully across Wales. So. we'll have more information, and we'll then have a responsibility to make choices about if and how we'll see that rolled out across the country.
