So, we know that the return of services will continue to be gradual, and we recognise that people across Wales have not had the regular check-ups that they've been used to. However, the service has adapted to prioritise urgent care, and I would like to take the opportunity to thank dental teams and health boards for their commitment and dedication during the last 15 months to maintain access to essential dental services for those in the population experiencing pain and problems. And, yes, that does include people who are in care homes.
