Minister, thank you for the answer, and you're absolutely right—it is a decision for the board. But I want to ask you if you would welcome the renewed emphasis that the health board has put on, not least in the light of the very welcome decision on the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, to also invest heavily in primary and community care in order to actually protect our emergency services as well, making sure that people go to the right place for the right treatment. And, indeed, they are now focusing very much on developing community care within Maesteg hospital. Would he take an interest in this? Would he speak to the board about their work with Maesteg Community Hospital, and also their intention to develop community and primary care within the Llanharan area as well? It's great to see this renewed focus.
