Thank you. I'll be, in the first instance, completing my current round of bilaterals with my Ministers. So, I have discussions early on in the year—so in March—where we look at what our priorities overall, our strategic priorities for Government, might be. And, again, you'd imagine that health is high up there in those discussions and also support for local government. But then, through the year, we have a range and series of bilaterals with Ministers when they talk about the priorities within their portfolio, delivery against our programme for government, pressures that are emerging within those budgets, but also, crucially, new opportunities in terms of responding to current issues. So, we have the climate emergency, which has been declared by the Welsh Government, so we've had good discussions with each Minister in terms of how we can best respond to that.
