Thank you for giving way. I'm always interested in these debates to hear ideas of how we can resolve some of these quite complex situations. A number of members of my family are involved in radiography—some as clinical tutors within radiography as well—and we are training a lot of people, and yet, we still have parts of Wales, including places like Powys and Ceredigion and so on, where those trainees are choosing not to go and work where there are vacancies in those hospitals to work. So, we're training the people but they're choosing to go to Cardiff or to Bridgend or to wherever. So, I'm interested in the practical ideas about how we can resolve this, because we're doing the training in a number of these specialisms, but we're unable to recruit them into the areas that we need them.
