I thank the Member for that question. It’s obviously a very important point.

In relation to the social care workforce generally, obviously the make-up of that workforce has been one of the issues that the Minister for Health and Social Services has been very focused on. We've undertaken a piece of research to identify what the likely levels of employment are within the sector from the European Union, and, obviously, they are reasonably significant. It's one of the sectors where, in my discussions directly with the chair of the Migration Advisory Committee, and in the formal representations that the Government will be making to the UK Government, we've identified the issue of the social care workforce as one that requires a particular approach in terms of protection through the migration policy. The current proposals in the White Paper that the Government has brought forward do nothing to support the social care workforce, and that’s important from the point of view of the workforce, but it’s also important from the point of view of the sustainability of the workforce and, therefore, the provision of services to people who are often in a very vulnerable position.

There are also discussions going on in relation to how best to ensure that social care workers are able to understand the mechanism for acquiring settled status under the UK Government's proposal. And we've also made funding available to the Association of Directors of Social Services to look at the planning for resilience in the workforce more generally in the longer term.

On the question of making the social care workforce from the EU feel welcome, absolutely, that’s a vitally important dimension to all of this, and I hope that all of us will take the opportunity of making it absolutely clear to workers in all parts of our public services who live here and are from the European Union that they are, and continue to be, welcome as an important part of Welsh public services and Welsh society.
