Thank you. Recently, I've been contacted by the Bishop of Bangor, who has raised with me his real, serious concerns about the numbers of suicides in north Wales. In particular, he's highlighted young men. Is it possible, therefore—? He has asked—I was going to write to you—whether you would consider us holding a meeting so that we can discuss those concerns. Because if a man of the cloth comes forward to say that there's an issue, clearly, he's a member working hard in the community, and I think his concerns should be taken seriously.
