Thank you very much to Jane Dodds. We provide support to local authorities in a number of ways. We have provided more funding to them during the pandemic to help them to cope with that situation. I referred in my original answer to Sam Kurtz to the new guidance we have drawn up to help people in front-line services with the hard work that they're undertaking. We're working currently with our universities to see if there's more that we can do to draw in more people to the training courses that we have here in Wales to create a workforce for the future. So, I agree with what Jane Dodds said. It is a difficult area, and people on the front line are working so hard to work with other people to provide support and help to them. There are a number of possibilities where we can work together to improve the situation that's facing them currently.
