Trefnydd, can I call for a statement on vaccination and its potential to enabling earlier return to the classroom for students and pupils across Wales? I held a briefing last week, in conjunction with the Israeli embassay, from Dr Asher Salmon, who is the director of international relations at the Israeli ministry for health. The Israeli Government has a taken a conscious decision, because it wanted to get children and young people back into their education, to actually vaccinate teachers and other school staff in order to accelerate that opportunity to return them to the classroom. I think it would be useful to have a statement on whether this is something that the Welsh Government has considered, in order to help clarify the position of the Welsh Government in relation to this matter. Thank you.
