Thank you, Jenny, for that. Obviously, I think the neighbourhood nursing teams are something we could have a more detailed discussion about outside the Chamber. I do believe that local accountability is crucial, and I know that there's a long way to go in terms of the integration with health and social care, but that is one of our absolute aims. That is why, of course, we are building on what has been achieved so far by the regional partnership boards, which are varied across Wales. The amount of progress that has been made has been greater in some areas than others, but I'm determined that we will strengthen them and that we will make sure that the third sector, for example, has a strong voice there, as well as local government and the health services.
