Thank you for your response. You may be aware that the decision to close Pontllanfraith leisure centre was recently overturned, on the basis that Caerphilly County Borough Council had failed to take into account the effect of closure on disadvantaged people in the area as part of its equality duty. Minister, would you agree that the council failed in its duties to disadvantaged people in this regard, and can you inform us how your Government intends to ensure that local authorities comply with their duties in relation to equality in future?

There's a wider point to be considered here as well, which is that vulnerable people's needs are too often neglected due to their voices not being heard and pressures caused by austerity. It's too easy for them to fall between the cracks of services when referrals aren't chased up and services don't talk to one another. When people are vulnerable, be they victims of abuse, those with alcohol and drug addiction, people who are homeless, veterans of the armed forces, it affects every aspect of their life. So, Minister, could you tell me what work the Welsh Government is putting in place to strengthen referral pathways for people in these precarious situations to reduce the number of cases that drop off the books?
