I'm grateful to receive an update on that, but obviously it's eight years after a clear commitment to introduce this core data set, and many people will feel that that is not sufficient regard or priority, frankly, in terms of doing this. Surely there are pieces of information that can be published in the interim—an interim suite, if you like, of targets—with some clear performance data attached to them before that core data set is published. Will you accept the ability to be able to produce something in the interim that is meaningful, perhaps against the performance of the targets that you've already got? I think it is a concern that there isn't sufficient information from health boards like Betsi—a board in special measures for its performance on mental health—and I'd be grateful if you could tell us: can you provide something in the interim, and particularly, can we get some information from Betsi?
