I'm happy to confirm that if people move within the health board, then the health board will need to make sure that they adequately resource the service, if people are moving around to cover challenges in other parts of the area. But it's entirely possible that people will move from the current Bridgend area. For example, the medical director post: it's possible that could be someone from the Bridgend area, it could be someone from the former Cwm Taf area, it could be someone from outside the current health board. So it's entirely possible staff will move and their roles will need to be filled if they do. But I do want to confirm in a very straightforward manner that special measures do not apply to maternity services within the Bridgend area of Cwm Taf Morgannwg; they are not affected by the decision I've made today on special measures. But, of course, the broader questions about leadership and governance affect the whole health board area, and that's part of the cultural shift that is not just about maternity services but how the whole health board operates.
