Thank you very much, Dirprwy Lywydd. Minister, of course, you'll be aware that Bridgend, the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, is now part of the Cwm Taf area. When the consultation took place for Bridgend to be incorporated into Cwm Taf, I'm pretty sure that nobody who responded to that consultation was aware of what was happening with maternity services in Cwm Taf. I wonder, then, if you could just reassure my constituents in South Wales West that the Princess of Wales Hospital will not be affected by any steps taken through these special measures, a status that's been imposed on Cwm Taf now, and if people are going to be moved from Bridgend, in terms of their expertise, to other parts of the Cwm Taf area, that money will follow or, preferably, that nobody will be removed from the Princess of Wales Hospital's maternity and neonatal services in order to solve problems in other parts of Cwm Taf.
