Minister, there's no doubt in my mind that the Welsh Government has an ambitious and dynamic strategy through which to harness the power of public procurement for the betterment of communities across Wales. But in order to do so, it's absolutely vital that we have procurement specialists right at the heart of local government, and we know that there are shortages within this area. So, what discussions have you had with the local government Minister around this and, in particular, are there any plans for a successor scheme to the Home Grown Talent scheme, which proved to be so successful a few years back?
