I think that health services in Wales meet the needs of all our people to an extent that people beyond Wales regard as remarkable. Of course, that does not mean—and no doubt the Member's about to offer me an example of where there are things that we would like to see done better. Health services and young people have often been a struggle. There is long-standing research that tells you that a GP, for example, will spend less time with somebody under 20 than any other person that they see. So, making sure that the health service is properly geared to understand and meet the needs of young people is something that has been a long-term issue in health inequalities, and there will be examples, I've no doubt, of where there is more we would wish to do.
