Yes, I think this is part of our challenge in managing people's expectations and in making sure, at the same time, that no-one gets left behind, because what we don't want is people generally ringing because they're concerned, and many people will be concerned in groups 1 to 4 at present, but then when we extend that, in groups 1 to 9, because I don't want primary care colleagues, especially general practice and pharmacists, to be overwhelmed. However, we do need to find a way to provide both that confidence and also to make sure that there is a check. So, I certainly will be looking to see what has taken place already within north Wales, to look at the good practice that Betsi Cadwaladr have been able to develop, and to see how we apply that in a more uniform way across Wales to make sure that no-one is left behind as we complete this national mission to ensure that we protect our people.
