Well, we've had regular conversations, and I'll be reporting back on the implementation of the dementia strategy. I was at the recent cross-party group as well, and my officials attend that too, to be able to set out what's working. So, that investment will be happening over time, and a new framework will be coming out on allied healthcare professionals, as one of the big parts of the plan is the role of allied healthcare professionals in delivering services and linking people together. So, I think you will see progress being made in every part of the country, not just in the Swansea Bay University Health Board area, together with its local authority partners. And, of course, we've got an assurance group that includes people living with dementia themselves, to confirm whether those services are being delivered progressively and whether they're seeing that difference on the ground.
