Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you, Minister, for bringing forward today's statement. Since becoming a Member of the Senedd, one of the first things I did was meet with and visit Tŷ Gobaith in my region, North Wales, who, alongside Tŷ Hafan, do carry out exceptional work, and it's all been acknowledged here today, in supporting young patients and their loved ones. I've been really taken aback by the work that they offer and provide.

One of the huge concerns that they raised with me was this lack of funding from Government, and, therefore, I'm really pleased that cross-party support in relation to this lack of funding has led to Government today announcing a reform of hospice funding. I, like others here today, welcome this long-awaited funding, which is a good start, to acknowledge the importance of this work and make a real difference to the support that hospices can provide to people. But looking ahead, Minister, and at the national programme board for end-of-life care that you're setting up, how will we be assured of their speedy progress, and how will you balance the voice of hospices on this board with competing voices for such important funding?
