Thank you very much, Peredur, and I very much look forward to coming to the cross-party group, to one of your future meetings, and I recognise this is an area that you feel passionately about, and I'm very much looking forward to continuing to work with you. I wholeheartedly agree again with your comments about the need not to criminalise people. Unfortunately, the engagement that we've had from the UK Government around the new UK drug strategy has not been as forthcoming as we would have liked and, indeed, I've written to the relevant Minister to raise concerns about that. We are very keen to have an ongoing constructive relationship with the UK Government, but that, obviously, relies on them engaging with us as well.

I'd like to thank you for your recognition of the importance of peer support. I've met some of the peer supporters myself, when I was able to go out and about to visit, and I've heard directly from people affected by alcohol problems just how powerful that support has really been, and I'm very keen to see that work continuing.

We are continuing to fund the out-of-work project. Unfortunately, despite all the promises about not a penny less, there has been no replacement funding made available by the UK Government, but, luckily, because we've had additional funding into the mental health and substance misuse portfolio this year—the £50 million—we are prioritising some of that funding to make sure that these incredibly valuable projects can continue, because it is absolutely vital that people have access to that support so that they can go back into work with the sense of belonging and purpose and everything that those kinds of projects can deliver.

In terms of the arrangements for commissioning the ongoing services, we're continuing to look at those, but what I would say is that we do really recognise in Government that the third sector are doing this work incredibly well, and we would certainly want to build on the strengths of that going forward. Thank you.
