Thank you, Presiding Officer. Just a quick question, because you've actually answered all my questions, Minister, in that, but, obviously, as shadow education Minister, that area's obviously a concern to me and as you know, parents and carers really struggled to support their children during the pandemic, particularly in lockdowns. Those families with disabilities struggled more than most, equating to those children's education suffering more than most.

I was just wondering, Minister, how you're working with the education Minister to ensure that those children really get all the support that they need, particularly now we're seeing whole schools going off and year groups going off again because of the rise in COVID. Thank you.
