There are many really positive findings in your panel's progress report that maternity services have weathered the worst of COVID-19 and a senior team at the university health board are maintaining their high level of commitment. And of course, I welcome those very much on behalf of my constituents. In terms of looking to the future and making sure that maternity services are of the highest possible standard for all of our families, the 'make safe' actions contained in the report are key. And I note that issues around the long-term cultural change are still outstanding, as is work around strengthening leadership. So, Minister, would you be able to say any more on these matters, as they constituted some of the most distressing parts of the original complaints?
