Thank you very much for that answer, Minister, but I do have concerns that extend beyond the current crisis in ambulance response times. Last week, an arson attack at Rhyl Football Club occurred at the same time as a fire at a hotel in Prestatyn. North Wales Fire and Rescue Service reported that they were stretched dealing with those two incidents in my constituency. I dread to think what would have happened had there been a serious collision or a house fire elsewhere in the Vale of Clwyd that day. Minister, what steps will the north Wales Cabinet committee take to ensure that there is sufficient fire and rescue service provision covering north Wales, and my constituency in particular?
