Can I say I welcome that from the Minister? The Minister will have seen the same reports as I've seen and listened to the same experiences of constituents that I represent and she represents, in different parts of the country. We know that there's a real crisis in the interface between the national health service and the people it serves at the moment, and we know that at the heart of that is the ambulance service. We know that people are working harder than perhaps they've ever worked before and that resources are under more pressure than perhaps they've ever been before. So, will the Welsh Government look specifically at how we do manage the ambulance service? Will the Welsh Government look specifically at the resources available to the ambulance service? And will the Welsh Government look at how emergency structures and processes can be put in place today and over the coming weeks and months to ensure that the ambulance service continues to deliver the service that people need, require and have a right to expect, wherever they happen to be?
