Well, as I said, this has been dealt with in some detail by the First Minister, but I hope that the report that I published yesterday provides Jack Sargeant with the sort of certainty that he's understandably looking for. I think it is important to reflect that this wasn't simply a matter of people saying that it was the north Wales health board that got it all wrong. That isn't what happened. The issue that was identified came about when Public Health Wales published health board area data, and, at that point in time, Betsi Cadwaladr got in touch with Public Health Wales because they recognised that there was a problem with the figures that were being published. We now have a system where the recommendations of the report are being implemented, everyone is using the same system, and there's weekly contact between Public Health Wales and the health boards to provide the reassurance that all of us want, and that certainly includes Ministers as well as local Members in the different health board areas, because I want data that I can rely upon in the choices that I make for the whole country.
