Llywydd, can I thank Hefin David for those very proper questions? And, you know, I just want to say again that he is right that the technical advisory cell summary, to which Adam Price referred earlier this afternoon, says in it that there is an improving picture in Caerphilly, attributed to the introduction of local restrictions and the swift multi-agency response. And the mobility data for Wales—hard data—demonstrates that there are reductions in mobility in Wales, particularly around Caerphilly, compared to earlier weeks, which shows that people are, as Hefin David says, very actively playing their part in trying to bring the rise in coronavirus numbers in that borough under control.

The decision-making process goes like this, Llywydd: in the first part of the week, our public health experts and our scientific advisers will be scrutinising the data, the data on a seven-day rolling incidence number, the positivity rate in tests carried out in Caerphilly and surveillance data from the other more general data sources we have, through the King's College app, through the wastewater surveillance arrangements we have. That will then be reported on Thursday of this week to a meeting that will involve the Welsh Government—I will be there, the health Minister will attend; the leader of the local authority; local public health authorities; the local health board and Gwent Police. That meeting will discuss whether or not we have a reliable enough reduction in the figures and incidence in the Caephilly area to begin the process of lifting local lockdown restrictions. And, in the end, it's Ministers who have to decide, so the third and final part of that process, having been advised by all those local players, is that Ministers will make a decision and then we will communicate that decision as quickly as we are able, particularly to local Members, but, obviously, to the public at large.

My ambition is to be able to begin the process of lifting those restrictions as soon as it is safe to do so. I want to be clear that I don't believe that there will be an ability to lift all restrictions in one go; we will start with some measures and build them up over a period of weeks. Whether we will be in that position on Thursday of this week, I'm afraid I really couldn't speculate at this point, because I have to allow the process, as I've described, of expert advice, local knowledge and final determination to take its path on Thursday of this week. And then, we will do that every Thursday while there are any areas in Wales subject to those local restrictions.
