No, which is why I set out and instigated the amber review process that took place—again led by clinicians working in the service. I gave a statement on this within the last few months—on setting out the reform and improvement programme that has taken place. I've directed the Chief Ambulance Services Commissioner for Wales and the emergency ambulance services committee to undertake that programme of work to deliver the improvement that is required and possible. So, this is not an area of complacency—far from it. We made a real healthcare gain within our system by changing the way we measure and drive performance within the ambulance system. We've had a review to look at the amber category and what further progress we can make. That's what I'm determined to do and it's what I spent some time on my feet responding to questions on within the last few weeks and months.
