Minister, I'm very glad that you mention PONT and the work done by people in my constituency, particularly people such as Dr Geoff Lloyd, who has done so much on health in places like Uganda. And I wonder if you're aware of the proposal emerging from those who are involved in the Wales for Africa Health Links network, which suggests that Wales could adopt 3 million people in sub-Saharan Africa and provide universal health coverage for them through the existing network. Now, this is a really exciting proposal, not only using the existing network and existing resources and so on, but it would extend the actual coverage of the programme and would be a real tribute to the anniversary of the Wales for Africa programme.
