I'm very pleased indeed to note the progress that's been made in this area in Wales, and, indeed, in England. Now, in England, yesterday, the UK Government announced that a further £105 million of funding will be made available, most of it new money, so that the scheme to help rough-sleepers can be extended. And the BBC has reported that there will be a consequential from this decision in England, where they hope to aim much of that extra support at the type of wraparound care and support that rough-sleepers often need so that they can sustain a housing tenancy of some sort. Can you give us the assurances that you will take a similar approach to that consequential funding that's likely to come to Welsh Government?
