Minister, thank you for your statement today. I've just got some questions around the finer details of what you're able to extrapolate from the data that you do have. For example, are you seeing any unexpected trends or links in terms of characteristics protected under the Equality Act 2010, in terms of those who are currently homeless in Wales? Are there any regional variations that stand out to you in terms of the geography of Wales, too? And, finally, in terms of the duration of the homelessness that we are seeing, what sort of data is emerging around whether the homelessness is mostly on a short or a long-term basis, because, clearly, there are lessons that we can learn from examining the data in such detail?
