Thank you very much. In the few minutes that remain to me, I will summarise this debate by thanking everyone for their comments. Angela Burns told us about the challenges with regard to IT, technology and the lack of data. And Caroline Jones and Helen Mary Jones told us about the need to extend the staffing levels legislation to community nurses, and I heard the response from the Minister to that. But to summarise, it’s vital that the role and value of community nursing is acknowledged fully and that our community nurses and our district nurses do receive the support that they need to provide a service of the highest quality to our patients here in Wales today. Thank you.
